Largely frequented by local and international travellers, South Africa’s first and only luxury hotel at an airport identified the need for a special mid-afternoon treat. Already known for their breakfast, lunch and dinner service, the InterContinental Johannesburg O.R. Tambo Airport Hotel now offers guests a relaxing space filled with sweet or savoury delights and a selection of finely brewed teas.
Instead of passing time in an impersonal airport lounge, travellers can pop across from the airport building to the hotel while waiting for their flights and enjoy the Quills Afternoon Tea in a warm, welcoming and relaxing environment. The electronic flight information screen in the hotel provides easy access to schedule information while guests delight in the extraordinary array of perfectly delectable treats, such as delicious sandwiches, warm tartlets, fruit kebabs and a variety of bite sized chocolate snacks including brownies and chocolate cakes.
The variety of teas available will boggle the mind, besides the trusted Earl Grey Original there is a host of loose leaf and tea bag selections to choose from.
With the Gautrain becoming a popular mode of transport, locals are increasingly visiting the InterContinental Johannesburg O.R. Tambo Airport hotel to experience an afternoon of luxurious delight, and most choose to forego lunch because the tea menus are so comprehensive.
Whether you are in transit, having a fun outing with kids, celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a memorable experience, the Quills Afternoon Tea should not be missed.
