Partnering with Chicago fine jewelry house Sidney Garber, The Peninsula Chicago launched a special Spill the Tea Afternoon Tea experience. Through August, this couture-inspired experience in The Lobby features elegant afternoon tea desserts inspired by iconic items from Sidney Garber’s collection. As part of The Peninsula Chicago and Sidney Garber’s shared commitment to philanthropy, a portion of the proceeds from the Spill the Tea experience goes toward Chicago Cares, a non-profit organization that mobilizes volunteers to build a more equitable and connected Chicago.
The hotel’s rooftop lounge, Z Bar, also added The Silver Set Anniversary Cocktails to its menu. These exclusive cocktails include the Pen 25, Òle 25 Old Fashioned and Michter’s 25-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon.
