Chinese New Year Afternoon Tea | The Peninsula Chicago
Indulge in our special Chinese New Year-inspired Afternoon Tea in The Lobby, featuring savory and sweet festive bites in honor of the holiday, including traditional Chinese fare. Entertainment will be provided by a string duo. Guests will receive a traditional red packet as a parting gift.
On Saturday, January 25, guests will witness the annual lion dance in The Lobby during the 2:30 pm Afternoon Tea seating. At 3:00 pm, the lion dance will commence at the front entrance of the hotel. Loud drumbeats and strong cymbal crashes accompany the dance to scare away evil spirits. The lion troupe will then make its way down the hotel's main fifth floor lobby, weaving through the tables in The Lobby. A child will be invited to 'feed' lettuce to the lion, representing good luck for the coming year.
Dates: Friday, January 24 through Sunday, January 26 with seatings at 2:30 pm and 4:30 pm
Price: $150 per adult and $85 per child ages 5 to 12, excluding tax and gratuity. Price includes a glass of Champagne for adults 21 years and older.*
