Astor Lounge

Available each Saturday and Sunday from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm in , located lobby level at The St. Regis Toronto.

Afternoon tea is said to have been introduced in the mid-1800s by the Duchess of Bedford, who enjoyed gathering friends over a cup of tea and a slice of bread and butter to stave off hunger between lunch and dinner. These occasions became a favorite pastime of many luminaries, including ‘The’ Mrs. Astor, who adopted the tradition at The St. Regis New York. For her, afternoon tea was a joyful occasion and an opportunity to host gatherings with close friends as a prelude to her grand galas.

Today, Time for Tea remains a quintessential St. Regis tradition, offering guests an impeccable selection of fine teas and refreshments in an inviting and intimate setting. The ritual is tailored to reflect the distinctive location and clientele of each St. Regis address. Reservations can be made through OpenTable.
