Brown Palace, Witches Tea
Pinky's up - it's tea time!
denv.her. was invited in to the Brown Palace's Witches Tea on Halloween and we were v ready to get costumed up & imbibe at this historic Denver jewel!
Fall is in full swing at the Brown Palace and they're ready to provide you with a classy outing unlike anything else offered in Denver - where the tea is piping hot, the champagne abundantly flows & the ambiance is grand. #somuchyes
We really do love this place Denverites - the Brown Palace employees are always exceedingly gracious and carry themselves with class and excitement while they go about their work. & we don't blame them! How could you not sparkle when you work in such an elegant environment and are surrounded by so many great co-workers?! They consistently go above and beyond to ensure each customer's experience is luxurious - whether that experience be afternoon tea, the spa, one of Brown Palace's restaurants or the hotel itself!
Kenzy and I were seated in the atrium and were treated to Brown Palace's - The Royal Palace - afternoon tea option.
The Royal Palace comes with a refreshing glass of Kir Royale Chandon Brut, a selected tea of your choice accompanied by homemade scones served with Devonshire cream (shipped directly from England!), preserves, finger sandwiches, an exquisite selection of classic tea pastries and finished with a Brown Palace truffle.
Costumes are encouraged at the Witches Tea so we threw on our ear headbands:
& were ready to have a very paws-itive time at tea!
…
get it?
Laugh at my pun I tried lol lol. #bowwow
There was even a troupe of witches sitting next to us having the best time.
We started off our tea with a fall champagne cocktail - a twist on the standard Kir Royale Chandon Brut.
These cocktails were a 10/10 and I loved the festive orange sprinkles that adorned the rims of the flutes. It's little things like the orange sprinkles that truly show Brown Palace's attention to detail and commitment to holiday festivities - & I freaking liveeeee for it .
Then we chose our teas!
Brown Palace has numerous tea choices and currently has some great fall options. Kenzy and myself went with the Autumn mix - which is pure fall goodness in a cup! Hints of cinnamon and nutmeg filled this tea and we each went through two pots. #moreplease
Nothing beats a hot fall tea on a chilly afternoon - nothing!
While we drank, we enjoyed music from the live pianist (who takes any and all requests while he plays).
He's amazing!
Soon it was time to eat & our tea tower of nibbles was brought out.
The scones with the Devonshire cream are ALWAYS my favorite at Brown Palaces afternoon tea.
The Devonshire cream is to die for and the scones are every pastry lovers dream.
The finger sandwiches are great light snacks and my favorite is the cucumber followed closely by the egg salad.
The petite fours, small cakes & truffles are a perfect ending to the afternoon tea - I have a major sweet tooth so these treats always hit the spot!
Peep that red velvet Halloween cake! It tasted as good as it looks.
Afternoon Tea space is limited for the holidays so make your reservations today! You can book through Opentable or by calling 303-297-3111. Tea at the Brown Palace runs daily, Monday - Saturday from 12pm-4pm (after hours, you can always enjoy cocktails in the atrium from 4:30-7:30pm).
Brown Palace knows parking downtown can be a nuisance so take into account that they do offer reduced parking to $14 when validated in the hotel during Afternoon Tea! (You can also take them up on reduced parking if dining at the hotel's restaurant during breakfast, lunch at Ellyngton’s or lunch at Ships Tavern. At night when dining within the Brown Palace, parking is comp'd!)
Now, where are my Christmas lovers out there?!
