Available through Jan. 5, this tea experience takes place in Mosaic, the hotel’s on-site, all-day dining destination. This holiday afternoon tea features a Christmas tree taking center stage in the restaurant, accompanying a rich menu of loose-leaf teas, sandwiches, pastries and scones.

 

Choose from a selection of 10 teas sourced from JING Tea. Sandwiches include roasted turkey with cranberries, wild mushroom and chestnut puree, and chili-smoked brisket on a house roll. Scones are freshly baked and come plain or with raisins, served with clotted cream and blackcurrant jam.

 

Desserts include pine brownie cake, pistachio and cranberry cupcake, and caramel coconut wood rolls, all of which tie into the woodsy theme.

 

This afternoon tea also offers a specially crafted kids’ menu for a reduced price.

 

The Westin London City, boasting views of the Thames River, features 226 guestrooms, suites and residences; a panoramic bar; pet-friendly guestrooms; Heavenly Spa by Westin; and a fitness center.

Celebrate Women’s History Month in Auburn, New York

March is the perfect time to teach kids about history, more specifically, women’s history, with a trip to Auburn, New York. And it isn’t just because March is Women’s History Month — it’s also the time of year when Harriet Tubman Day is celebrated.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.
