"The stately Hermitage Hotel is Nashville’s best bet for an elegant tea service downtown. Marble staircases and ornate high ceilings set the scene for a formal and festive afternoon tea served on the bright and window-filled veranda every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 2 p.m for $95 per person. Tiered trays of tea sandwiches and pastries are accompanied by pots of loose-leaf tea and complementary glass of bubbles (and free valet parking)." - Ellen Fort
