From top-to-bottom, The Lowell Hotel exudes excellence, and its afternoon tea service in the Pembroke Room is no exception. More than 15 varieties of black, green, and herbal leaves are sourced globally, and there are also rotating "featured" teas, inspired by different year-round events or holidays. After making your difficult tea selection, a three-tiered tower of sandwiches, pastries, and desserts arrives for snacking. House-baked scones are buttery and pair oh-so-well with lemon curd or a rose petal jam made exclusively by a former Lowell employee. The pecan tart is also divine. Champagne and caviar pairings are also available.
