Located in the prestigious St. Regis Hotel, the Astor Court lounge reeks of perfection. Named after John Jacob Astor, this tea room has been a regular haunt among the glitterati of yesteryears (think Marlene Dietrich and Salvador Dali). The decor is simply divine, with chandeliers, flower arrangements and gilded white walls, one would feel blessed to be here. With some soft music playing in the background, this place becomes the perfect place for high profile business or social meetings. Choosing between 18 different teas can be quiet a task, but then again it's a rare opportunity you wouldn't want to miss.
