The best afternoon tea in Arizona can be found at The Phoenician in Scottsdale, an iconic resort that epitomizes class and luxury. Embark on a culinary journey across the pond as you delight in finger sandwiches, scones with jam and clotted cream, pastries, and other English delicacies – along with an incredible selection of fine teas. Pinkies up!
Nestled at the base of Camelback Mountain, The Phoenician in Scottsdale is a world-class resort in so many ways. The hotel boasts luxury rooms, a spacious pool area, a golf course, a wedding venue, and a spa, offering guests a home away from home.
The Phoenician is especially heralded for its unparalleled dining experiences. Eight unique restaurants turn out everything from steak and seafood to poolside snacks and cocktails, ensuring each guest finds their perfect bite.
Paying homage to the age-old English tradition, The Phoenician's Afternoon Tea features all the usual suspects: finger sandwiches, scones, pastries, and a selection of fine tea blends that perfectly complement the distinct flavors of the food.
While you eat, tea servers visit each table to answer any questions you may have and offer insight about all of the different tea varieties. The impeccable service really takes the whole experience to a new level.
Some of the offerings are almost too beautiful to eat - but don't let that stop you! Each bite will transport your taste buds across the pond, then straight up to heaven.
Gluten-free and vegan Afternoon Tea menus are available with at least a 48-hour advance notice. Each per-person tea experience includes a three-course menu and tea of your choice. Several enhancements are available for an extra fee, including caviar and alcoholic beverages such as champagne and sparkling wine.
