We had a lovely experience, I went with my mother to the afternoon tea and it was delightful with every sense of mine soothed and pleased with an incredible experience. The food was some of the best for complimenting the tea, the teas are soothing both by taste and aroma, there was an amazing harp player who played some of my favorite music, and our waiter Deepak was incredibly welcoming and a pleasure to speak to. The lighting and noise levels were just right for me despite me having light and sound sensitivities. Their nonalcoholic option of Pri-secco was a delightful and inclusive touch as well. I felt welcomed, taken care of, and overall had a lovely experience. Will be returning soon.

Took my mom to afternoon tea to celebrate a milestone birthday. Staff was highly attentive and hotel was inviting. Deepak was a huge help in selecting teas for us and in making my mom feel special for her birthday. Harpist played classical pieces as well as modern ones which sounded beautiful coming from the harp. She even played Happy Birthday. All staff was attentive and friendly. This was an excellent way to spend the afternoon celebrating my mom and she absolutely loved it and felt special. Thank you to the staff! Tea, scones, condiments, sandwiches and tarts were all delicious!

Lovely afternoon tea in TThePeacock Room. Superb care from Deepak who hails from Nepal and is knowledgeable about the various types of tea. Terrific food - tea sandwiches, scones, mini desserts - all fresh, well made and well presented. Highly recommend.

The Willard is always beautifully decorated and magical for the Holidays. The staff are all friendly and attentive. The afternoon tea experience is always fabulous with excellent service. The rooms are beautiful and spacious, though I was surprised the beds did not seem to have a mattress pillow topper as found at all other Intercontinentals we’ve stayed in. The only slight negative was that there were a few signs of wear in the room such as chipped paint and some wood loose in cabinetry, but this is understandable considering the age of the hotel. Other than that, the condition was excellent for such an old building.
