[Ed. Note: Hotel Maven and High Tea enthusiast JetSetCD gives us her recommendation for Chi-town's finest tea hour. Enjoy.
Indeed the master of the Chicago institution of Hotel High Tea is, surprisingly, not The Drake. Only a few blocks away and tucked just off Michigan Ave sits the Ritz Carlton (which is actually a Four Seasons property), and at its 12th Floor Greenhouse you can expect the best High Tea in the Windy City.
Set at $27 per person for a complete service of seasonal pastries and choice of tea, they also offer a selection of rare and iced teas for a little extra $.
The Ritz Carlton service absolutely requires reservations, as the seating is true English style in arrangements of plush floral-print chairs and couches around a quiet fountain, and the staff is strict on the number in your party so as to seat you best. Settle in and you'll note the Frette linens, Wedgwood China, and silver service stamped with the Ritz Carlton insignia.
No skimping on the "proper way" here.
