What’s it like to have afternoon tea at the @fairmontempress ? In a word, iconic. This historic and long-loved experience is the crown jewel of Victoria’s grand dame hotel. Start by picking your tea from an extensive menu (including the late Queen Elizabeth’s favourite blend), and then enjoy a three-tiered tray of delectable eats. Among them: chicken curry finger sandwiches, smoked salmon tarts, lemon madeleines, and chocolate opera cakes. And don’t forget about the scones with clotted cream, which use Buckingham Palace’s recipe. —Sara Harowitz
