My favorite time period is the Victorian Era. I am totally captivated by the customs, etiquette, architecture, fashion, and lifestyle in general. If time travel were possible, I would transport myself there in a heartbeat!
This weekend I planned an intimate little bachelorette party for my best friend of 27 years (friends since we were 1!). I did some research for something unique and special, and stumbled upon a vintage tea at The Ashton Hotel in downtown Fort Worth. I immediately knew it was the perfect thing for us to do. We are both lovers of all things vintage and nostalgic for those by gone days.
I grew up around Fort Worth and have never heard of this, so I was thrilled to get a chance to try it out. I could do a whole post on the history of The Ashton Hotel, but most people wouldn’t find that very interesting 🙂 But I will tell you this structure dates back to 1915!
Disclaimer:: I didn’t bring my nice camera unfortunately! So, these are all iPhone pictures! They still turned out great 🙂
They include valet parking which is always a good mark in my book. Then we spent a few minutes inside the sitting area of the lobby to be called for tea. The waiting area was the perfect blend of vintage and modern, so we were delighted in the ambiance.
I was happy to see they didn’t make us wait long at all, even though we were pretty early. I also really appreciated that the tea area and waiting room were not over crowded, like in typical hotel fashion. It was very quit and peaceful.
The tea itself was incredible. The treats came out in courses, and all the food was delicious…but the scones were absolutely to die for! They had a large amount of tea selections too with your own little tea pot. I was very impressed with the quality and presentation of all the courses. Each one was incredible, making me feel like I was at a delicatessen!
My ONLY regret is I didn’t bring my nice camera, so obviously these are all iphone pictures! I can’t wait to go back again and take some great pictures of the amazing food and treats 🙂
If you are ever in the Fort Worth area, I highly recommend making reservations for a Saturday afternoon tea at The Ashton Hotel in Fort Worth, TX!
