I would give 5 stars but did not receive any cleaning of the room for our 4 night stay even though they said it would be every other night. We are pretty clean guests so really wasn’t an issue but in case anyone else expects it, you’ll probably have to remind them. Other than that, they are pretty quick. When we called for ice and toilet paper they were there in a jiffy! Super friendly staff from when we checked in to when we checked out. Accommodating. Never a hassle when we asked the front desk for ice cold bottled water. I would definitley stay here again! Also, no refrigerator in the room

Great stay at Henley Park! The room was nice and comfortable and we didn’t hear any noise from surrounding rooms. Hotel and room looks just like the website. This is a beautiful historic hotel with a lot of charm and architectural detail. Francis checked us in and she was exceptionally nice and helpful! The GM was super helpful in switching the date of our reservation (at no charge!) when we couldn’t beat the traffic to make it here the day of our original reservation. We had breakfast at the Tavern on site and the food and service were excellent! The hotel is within walking distance to a lot

This is one of the best hotels we've ever stayed at. Right in the heart of DC, walking distance to tons of restaurant, the National Mall, and the Capital One Arena. The staff were amazing. From the Hotel manager, who went above and beyond to help, to Marabel who assisted us over the phone before arriving, and finally Michael. Michael took care of us during afternoon tea, a night cap and made us feel welcome and at home. If you are in the city and need a place to stay with great people, style, and history this is the place. We will definitely be back

My friend made a reservation for five of us two weeks ago for their "holiday tea." Unfortunately, the tea experience was the worst I have had in DC. Our tea was never kept hot, the food was poorly displayed and downright awful. The bread was stale and it was very lazy how the staff prepared it. The egg salad lacked flavor and was just a mushed hard boiled egg with some sort of veggie, a slice of salmon layed on top of bread, and the last tea sandwich was mixed goat cheese and cranberry... I could have made at home. Luckily the desserts were the best course, but obviously not prepared

Not to be confused with the Blue Duck Tavern...it's The Tavern at the Henley Park, thank you very much! No, it's not the hottest eatery or Michelin star rated...it's a true D.C. hidden gem!
So hidden, I've never even heard of it! Let's just say, a little birdie told me about this place. Just so you know, The Tavern at the Henley Park is located in The Henley Park Hotel.
Ok, hotel restaurants really aren't my cup of tea, so I was a little apprehensive about dining here. Glad I came! As a first timer, I was pleasantly surprised!
Now to the deets!

One of my favorite teas in the DC area. Have been coming here with my family for years. This is the tea spot if you don't want/need champagne, don't want to spend upwards of $60, and just want to relax and gossip with your people while munching on delicious snacks. If you're an actual tea aficionado, I would skip; they don't use loose-leaf and have a limited selection. Their scones and cream are delicious (crispy, yet somehow still soft, and the perfect amount of sweetness)- I could eat 12! Sandwiches are your standard tea ones - cucumber and avocado, roasted red pepper, salmon

This is a review for the afternoon tea service. To sum up: the tea itself and the atmosphere are pleasant, but the service is terrible.
I came to the Tavern at Henley Park with my sister for afternoon tea on Easter Saturday. We were seated in the parlor area, which was lovely -- it has a fireplace, lovely windows, comfortable sofas, and a traditional atmosphere. The tea was good (Harney & Sons), and the sandwiches and pastries were fresh and quite tasty, though the scones were a little dry.
The reason I can't recommend the Tavern is the service, which was slow and later impolite. After

This review is for the Blue Bar inside the Henley Park Hotel. They have the Tavern, a restaurant, next door. This is such a tastefully decorated "bar" which is more like a lounge, with excellent service. The doorman would open the door for you, and once inside, you get to admire the beautiful classical decor. Walking up a few steps and you find yourself in the Blue Bar.
They have a baby grand piano that plays itself and it's pretty awesome, not just for music but for the splendor it adds to the space. The don't have non-alcoholic drinks, but the bar man was creative and can

Great spot for a Mother's Day brunch or any special occasion brunch! Service was slow and not terribly attentive or helpful. 3 course brunch was very festive and relaxing. Loved the soft jazz music that was played in the background. Price was a little much for the food and experience--but not too too bad. Ambiance was very relaxing and intimate. Lobby of the hotel was gorgeous. Very private and had a very nice British feel! Great spot for an upscale crowd looking for a decadent meal. All in all would recommend.

Stopped here for afternoon tea. We each ordered the English tea service. The scones were fantastic, but the rest of the food was not very good. The tea sandwiches were bland and thin and the pastries were obviously bought elsewhere (the eclair was sweating from being in the fridge and the berry tarts were not even close to fresh). The tea came in a sealed bag and I had to open it and put it into the pot to brew. Shouldn't the tea be the best part and the focus of the service?
We should have just ordered tea and scones. I'd have given it three stars if that was all we had.

Perfect place to have afternoon tea. They set us up in the parlor on a cozy loveseat. We enjoyed the English tea which included tea sandwiches, a few sweets (tart, truffle and cakes) and scones Devonshire cream with choice of jam. I personally loved the scones they were the perfect amount of sweetness and topped with the cream and BlackBerry jam I was in heaven. The staff was great and we enjoyed a nice relaxing pot of tea and the cozy atmosphere.
I recommend making a reservation to ensure they can accommodate you and your party. They also lunch and dinner in other rooms of the hotel. It is also

What a delightful little place. I came here with my special one for our anniversary, and we absolutely loved it.
The ambiance is very intimate and romantic. Service was impeccable - a shout out to Marius who was perfect.
The food was fantastic and we were really treated well. Excellent wine list and affordable.
Seriously. If in DC and want a romantic and intimate experience with your special one, come here.

Good food portion yet worst service ever!!! Can't believe we waited for over 30 mins and not a single server stopped by Can you imagine when you finished all of your tea and with some very dry scones left but no one helped you to refill your tea pot.... Sorry @henleyparkhotel , consider all the food quality and service, I can only give you a star out of 5

We had Christmas dinner here. Service was spit in and the food was fantastic. This was our first time here. We had crab and oyster bisque, duck confit in a scone, rack of lamb, prime rib, and lobster ravioli. Desert consisted of Buch Noel, Tres Leches, and Chocolate Mouse.
The portions were very generous. Rack of Lamb was perfect the the deserts which we all shared was won out by the Tres Leches. Buch Noel was a close second.

My girlfriends wanted afternoon tea and places were booked for Mother's Day weekend, so we decided to check out Henley Park Hotel. They say old hotels have a charm to them. Sadly, this one didn't quite leave that impression.
The afternoon tea experience itself was at best average for me. The dedicated tea room was spacious and proper. We were enjoying tea time and towards the end, classical music started playing. We didn't even realize there was no music until it came on. It would have been nice if the music played from the beginning.
All four of us picked the English Tea option

The fiancé and I were in the mood for tea so we checked out one of those listicles about great places for tea in DC; Henley Park hotel was on the list and we chose it since they had tea on Friday's and were able to provide us a reservation the same day.
Their afternoon tea time is a little later than I'm used to: 4-6pm...close to dinner time.
We were seated immediately when we came for our reservation (the table had a little "reserved" sign). The team room is near the entrance of the hotel. Our server was very friendly and attentive without being too overbearing.

This is a pretty neat place. It's inside the Henley Park hotel. It's an historic building and a small, quaint hotel. The restaurant is small and feels very fancy. The bar has great happy hour deals and is small and intimate. Their beer list is above average. They also have a lot of cocktails and wine. The small bites we ordered were nicely prepared and yum. All in all, this is a hidden little gem that's worth a stop.

Pretty decent afternoon tea place in DC.
My boyfriend and I have been here twice, both times for tea. They are normally very quiet during tea time (only 2-3 tables). However, this allows for a more intimate experience. Their teas, sandwiches, and scones are acceptable. Not the best, but will fulfill any afternoon tea cravings you might have. Also very reasonably priced compared to afternoon tea at other hotels in the area.
Service can be improved. Servers were very nice but they were quite hard to flag down as they rarely checked on the tables.
