Enjoy live music with your afternoon tea at Vancouver’s swanky Shangri-La Hotel. From 12:00 pm to 5:30 pm, the sixth-floor tearoom will host a special Mother’s Day afternoon tea service ($60 per person). Each picture-perfect tiered tea tower will be adorned with savoury goods (bagels with smoked salmon and lemon caper cream cheese, warm artichoke and spinach tarts), gorgeous pastries (lavender cupcakes, lychee macarons) and, of course, classic raisin scones with clotted cream and preserves. If you really want to spoil Mom, book her in for a morning of pampering at the hotel’s on-site spa beforehand.
When you're looking for a high-end hotel experience in Vancouver, Shangri-La delivers. This award-winning luxury accommodation boasts a convenient downtown location and special in-room touches like automatic draperies, pre-set lighting controls and L'OCCITANE toiletries. The opulence extends to the on-site dining experience, three-Michelin star chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten's MARKET by Jean-Georges.
Divine decadence with an Asian twist can be found in the gorgeous Xi-Shi Lounge at Vancouver’s Shangri-La hotel. You’ll find plenty of seasonal variety here; the bar hosts themed tea parties during Chinese New Year and other special events throughout the year. One of my favourite drinks to order is their basil-infused margarita with lemon and honey. Head down on weekends and enjoy your bevvies with a side of free live classical piano – so elegant!
