MLA 2006 Local Assistance Committee: Phoenix

I have been to afternoon tea several times at the Phoenician Resort. It is a lovely setting in the lobby of the hotel overlooking the resort grounds and the mountains are in the background. However, it is very pricey, approximately $25 per person. It is a lovely English High Tea. Consistently voted "Best Afternoon Tea" by New Times and Arizona Republic readers, full tea includes finger sandwiches, scones with Devonshire cream and preserves, pastries and a selection of fine teas. Classical music provides a charming backdrop for a genteel afternoon break.
