Tea time is posh at Beverly Hills’ Montage hotel.

Settle into a plush sofa with garden views at the Montage Beverly Hills for its updated afternoon tea (£34/$55), offered Wednesday through Sunday. While freshly baked scones entice, the organic tea blends will appease the most discerning connoisseur. All aspects are elegant: from the hand-painted china (decorated with California wildflowers) to the tiered silver trays covered in miniature pastries, hot scones (accompanied with English clotted cream) and oh-so-twee finger sandwiches.

The Royal Tea is paired with a glass of Ruinart NV champagne (£46.45/$70 or £50$75 for the rosé), while those who might want hearty fare can select the Gentleman’s tea (house scotch, sliders, pie and cake). The youthful set can partake in the Young Adult’s Tea ($30) that comes with peanut butter-and-jelly sandwiches. All are served in the hotel’s plush Parq Bar, which looks like a gorgeous Beverly Hills residence and feels just like home.
