Deets: Beginning Friday, November 21, the Waldorf Astoria Washington DC reintroduces its beloved Holiday Afternoon Tea—a festive ritual wrapped in luxury and set within the grandeur of the historic landmark.

Available Thursday through Sunday with seatings at 12:00 PM and 3:30 PM, the experience ($120 per person, or $200 for the premium service) features a decadent menu of seasonal savories and sweets — from Pomegranate Fig Tart with Brûléed Brie and Smoked Whitefish on Tomato Bread, to Cranberry Brie Thyme Scones with Devonshire Cream and a Caramel Banana Petit Gâteaux almost too pretty to eat. Each tier pairs beautifully with an artful tea selection, including Chocolate Peppermint Truffle, Nutcracker, and Sugar Plum Fairy blends, brewed tableside.

With its soaring atrium, glittering tree, and live harpist, afternoon tea at the Waldorf Astoria is arguably the most elegant way to toast the season in the capital.
