Came for afternoon tea with which we booked for a Friday afternoon - they're so popular that you have to book out quite far in advance or on a weekday to get a spot! The value is amazing and the interior is SO beautiful. For 2-person seating you're sat against a wall and the chairs are facing the interior of the room instead of straight across from each other which is more relaxing. We loved our teas and as usual the food is very filling even though it just looks like a small amount of tiny little treats! It's hard to find a good afternoon tea at this price point (actually it's the first I've ever come across) and even though it's in kind of a random area of Greensboro it's totally worth the excursion. read more

O Henry Hotel - Afternoon tea - Hotels Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

*This review is for the afternoon tea only* As I'm a lover of chatting and snacking, afternoon tea is an activity I enjoy as often as I can afford! As I've done most of the afternoon teas available in the Triangle area, I am not branching out to the Triad. Afternoon tea at O Henry came highly recommended to me by people I know in real life and rightfully so! Afternoon tea at O Henry is served in the lobby of the hotel when you first walk in. They have clusters of seating all over, and they do get booked out so be sure to make your reservation ahead of time. For the tea, they have a few different tiers but I've always opted for the full O. Henry Tea. It's still only $22 which is such an accessible price point as I'm used to afternoon teas costing easily double! It's a hearty and proper tea, and they will refill your pot too. I can't wrap up the review without commenting on the excellent service. Every time I've come for the afternoon tea, I am impressed by the warm welcome and attentive service by all of the staff I interact with. This afternoon tea is one I will repeat time and time again! read more

Amazing service. From the time we arrived everyone was super friendly and helpful. When we discovered that someone had left something in the refrigerator in our room that had spoiled, they got right on it and had switched out the refrigerator before we could get done with cocktails. Speaking of cocktails, the Green Valley Grill is attached which is also a top recommendation. After I left, I thought I had left my most cherished necklace. They immediately sent management to our room for a thorough check. I travel every month and all over the world and I have to say that the level of service we received at the O'Henry is one of the best. The hotel has its own unique, old-world vibe. Heavy woods, dark colors yet charming. They do "teas" in the lobby and the seating areas both inside and outside are cozy and comfortable with classical music so you find people all around reading books and enjoying being together. I also like the way they converted a nook in the bathroom for a bench with drawers and that there was a sink inside and outside the bathroom making it easier for multiple people to get ready. If in Greensboro and wanting to go back in time for a relaxing stay, try the O'Henry. read more

Tea at The O'Henry is nothing short of spectacular. I had a friend come into town and just knew I had to make reservations and bring her here for the experience! Scones, macarons, cucumber sandwiches, mini quiches, lady fingers, etc. and pots of delicious tea with a mimosa each made for really lovely and relaxing Sunday afternoon. Go for the experience! read more

I've done high teas in the LA area for quite some time, some good and some bad and always usually pricey. I couldn't believe the deal I saw here. $22 and I couldn't even finish it, the quality and amount they gave you was a great surprise to me. The place was truly like being in the past, enjoying high tea with friends. They had classical music playing and the service was amazing. They treated us so well. We enjoyed a herbal pumpkin tea that was delicious, and their lemon curd and clotted cream was on point for an English experience. Their small bite pumpkin cheesecake melted in your mouth and was truly one of the best I've ever had. I already made a reservation to come back with more friends, I can't wait. read more

My wife and I stayed one night in a king suite as a halfway stop on a drive to Virginia, and there is a lot to love about this place. The lobby is a beautiful turn-of-the-century throwback, complete with afternoon tea, and the suite itself is enormous. The real standout is the people. The entire staff was warm and attentive, and the bellman gave us that true five-star welcome that so many hotels have forgotten. This team clearly cares about their guests. Unfortunately, the room itself did not live up to the price point, which was around $600 a night for our suite. The furniture is dated, which I could accept as part of the charm, but the jets in the tub did not work, and that was a real disappointment since a great soaking tub is one of my wife's favorite things about a hotel like this. The bigger issue was the AC unit, which made loud noises all night and slammed on and off so hard it sounded like someone was coming through the wall. Neither of us slept well. I raised it with the front desk and they were gracious and offered to make it right and they comp the entire stay. Not necessary, but outstanding customer service! I'm genuinely glad we experienced this unique property once, and I hope the maintenance catches up to the hospitality, because the team here deserves it. At this rate, though, we won't be back. read more

This review is for the cocktail and jazz event that they do on Thursday evenings! I absolutely recommend coming for a fun date night or with friends. The event is free which I think is amazing - you just might want to bring cash to tip the musicians! The jazz was great and super entertaining. We got there a little later and it was packed but the host was super nice and found a spot for us where we could still see the performers. There's also another room where they have a speaker set up so you can still hear the music and have a full booth if you want. My cocktail was delicious - I had a blueberry spritz. We also ordered appetizers from their jazz menu - chicken skewers, sliders, and Muhammara (which I've never had before) and it was delicious! They are small plates so they're not big but the prices aren't bad. The food was really good - the muhammara was absolutely delicious. At first they didn't give us a lot of pita but we asked for extra because there was so much dip & they were happy to give us a basket of warm pita. This hotel is so gorgeous inside and the service was outstanding. Love that they have this event every Thursday! read more

I had the pure pleasure of attending the Nutcracker Holiday Tea with my daughter and granddaughter on Sunday. It was so lovely. The decorations were pretty and the snacks very tasty. There was a reinactment of the Nutcracker by dancers. Caroling, ornament making and assisting with making a Gingerbread house. My 8 year old grand daughter loved every moment of this event and so did I. There was also a story time and the read Nutcracket book was read. And they gave parting gifts of gingerbread cookies and jewelry to everyone. Lastly, they had a raffle that I did not win lol but, it was still fun to be a part of it. We will be definitely be back next year!! read more

If you've never experienced afternoon tea at the O'Henry, you should add it to your bucket list. The ambiance is grand, yet cozy, and the staff is very accommodating. Tea arrives with quaint vintage individual tea pots, and you'll see a variety of charming patterns at your table. I highly recommend the Paris tea, lightly spiced with hints of caramel and vanilla. I ordered the O'Henry tea and added the champagne split to enjoy the full breadth of the experience. The finger sandwiches, scones, and sweets are the perfect pairing (but of course) and I particularly relished the smoked salmon crumpet and chicken salad filo tart. We've made it an annual spring tradition for our group of girlfriends! read more

I came here for their Cocktail and Jazz night. It's awesome that the hotel offers these shows for free every Thursday. The place is pretty packed for the event. If you want a good seat you either have to get lucky (like I did), come early, or wait until the 2nd set around 8 o'clock when people start to leave. The music was great! It's rare when I get to hear live Jazz in Greensboro so it's awesome that they have these events weekly. The food and drinks were good too. They only have small plates for the performance. I could probably eat 3 plates for myself if I was hungry (FYI the food in the pics are half eaten). The prices weren't too bad either considering how good the food is and the location. I definitey recommend the short rib sliders and the Muhammara with extra pita (they give you soooo much dip you'll need the extra). read more

The afternoon tea at the O.Henry has been a staple in our household. My grandmother used to take me to afternoon tea when I was a kid so it has always had a special place in my heart. And it honestly hasn't changed a bit over all these years, in the best way! The tea treats are so yummy and cute. Its such a nice change of pace for a celebration instead of standard restaurants or bars. It makes you feel like you are in London, instead of Greensboro. read more

This is by far one of my favorite places to visit. It doesn't matter if it's a weekday or a weekend I just love the ambience of the lobby of the O'Henry Hotel. Love the finger foods and treats provided as part of the full tea. Enjoy the great selection of always on the menu tease as well as the seasonal selections. The service is awesome, the ambience is fantastic And you have the option of dressing up or dressing down, but it always provides an elevated sophisticated experience. I would enjoy tea at the O Henry every week if I can convince others to join me, but until then, I'll have to deal with at least a monthly visit to enjoy this wonderful addition to the Greensboro community. read more

Stayed at O Henry as part of a wedding party and everything was beautiful. Such a relaxing atmosphere and we all had zero complaints. The cherry on top was the incredible afternoon tea. The interior was lovely, the tea waitress was knowledgeable and friendly, the scones were out of this world delicious, the seasonal tea specials were so flavorful. And all of this for $25. Around my city, all of this would have been closer to $150. Take advantage of tea time! It's probably the best thing to do in Greensboro. But reservations fill up fast so don't sleep on this. read more

Wow!!!! Such an amazing hotel. The staff were exceptional!!!!! We stayed here as our Daughters wedding was at a venue in Stokesdale. Cannot say enough about the level of service we received staying here. One of the best stays I have ever had and I stay at quite a few hotels. This is the place to stay when in the area. Even if you just do it once it's worth it! Thank you to the staff for making it the best stay!! read more

I have never done high tea but had always wanted to. When my friends decided to visit from out of town, we were excited to try it out together! First of all, the price is fantastic! There are others I've seen that are between $50-80, and this was about $20 and we felt like we had a great experience. There is no dress code although the setting feels high-end in the lobby with an elegant and Victorian feel. I'm not personally a big tea drinker, but they offered a strawberry kiwi flavor that basically tasted like warm juice when you add some sugar cubes in. We enjoyed all of the desserts and snacks and got the highest end selection. It was a good amount and we all finished ours without feeling like we wanted more. Service was great, as the server was friendly, sweet, and polite. Truly no complaints and a great atmosphere to spend time with friends! read more

We made one of our regular sojourns to the O. Henry for their wonderful tea, which has become a holiday tradition, including family photos in front of their beautifully decorated Christmas tree. The teas were delicious, including the seasonal holiday tea, the scones continue to be the best I have ever had, the seasonal quiche (won't give it away) worth ordering extra, and staples like the chicken salad filo tart never disappoint -- and leave one wanting more. But even better was the warm and attentive service; afterwards we wished we had asked our server her name, she was so good. Thanks to GM Michael too, for the treat! read more

Beautiful throw back hotel that makes you feel as comfortable as you would at Sunday dinner at Grandma's house. And they have live Thursday night jazz music. The staff here are all great, and professional and owners of the hotel. The food is above average to very good...try the mashed potatoes but stay away from the French toast which is my only complaint. Besides that this a great place to visit and stay with large rooms and comfortable beds. If you don't stay here stay at their sister hotel which is right down the road...see my other reviews to learn more. read more

heads up, this review is for the afternoon tea. i've never stayed at the hotel as i used to live in greensboro briefly. my parents still live here so when i visit gso i stay with them. :p i actually have been here for tea more than once -- one time before i liked tea and this time since i've become a huge tea enjoyer. the first time, i still very much loved it. i liked trying all of the savories, sweets, and the scone from the light afternoon tea. i didn't try a lot of the actual tea as, for some odd reason, i thought all tea tasted like grass (rolling my eyes at my former self now). it was also cool that they brought everything out on a three-tier plate; i mean who wouldn't think that was cool?! the inside of the place, being a hotel, feels like a regal one that you would see in the likes of the movie home alone. the service is always lovely, too. this time around, about two years later, we decided to come back. in the last year, i've gotten very "into" tea. i drink it a lot and i love trying new ones... so i was happy to hear when the o.henry had seasonal teas to go with the o.henry tea, which is their largest afternoon tea of the three total that they offer. i got their holiday spiced black tea which included cinnamon and orange peel. of all the teas i tried, this one was my favorite. the other people i attended with got the chocolate chai and the other holiday tea, which tasted like a redhot candy. onto the actual noshes. each sweet and savory are about a bite or two big. usually, when i have afternoon tea, i eat in the order of 1) savories, 2) scone, and 3) sweets. so let's start with the savories: the o.henry tea includes an open-face cucumber finger sandwich, a mini ham, brie, & fig croissant, smoked salmon on a mini crumpet, a tea quiche, and a chicken salad tart made with filo dough. these were all delicious, my favorite ended up being the chicken salad tart. onto the scone, which was vanilla. it was soft with a wonderful outside crust, not too hard or crunchy. the scones come with real clotted cream which is a plus (a lot of places do not use legit clotted cream nowadays) and lemon curd. they are perfect on this scone and enhance the vanilla perfectly. lastly, the sweets. the menu doesn't specify what they are, it just says "assorted sweets." there is a mini cheesecake, a macaron, a slice of cake covered in strawberry jam and coconut, and a molasses cookie. i believe the sweets left more to be desired, to be honest. since the menu was not descriptive of the sweets, i got worried when i saw the cheesecake. i couldn't tell if it contained raspberries or blackberries. i am very, very allergic to blackberries. i flagged down the waitress and she informed me that the cheesecake had raspberry filling, thankfully, but if the menu had just told me what sweets were available it would've saved me the anxiety. i think of the sweets, i liked the macaron and the cheesecake most. the molasses cookie had way too much molasses. the jammy cake was only okay, partially because i just don't like coconut shavings. overall, i had a wonderful experience. the service was good, we had a very nice waitress who was very accommodating with all of the different kinds of teas we ordered. the savory food was fantastic and the sweets were still good even though they were not my favorites. the tea itself was top tier in my opinion, i would come here just for a pot of it. i do recommend afternoon tea at the o.henry! read more

If you are visiting Greensboro, NC for business or pleasure, you have to check out O. Henry Hotel. Why, because it's a very elegant place to spend your afternoon tea with your friends, relatives, significant other and everything in between. We were invited by my birthday girl who is from this area. The lobby is so nice and picturesque. We had a great time mingling, talking and catching up with what we have missed. Just like everyone else here. We have come here for the O. Henry Tea. Come by and just enjoy the mellow vibes and jazz at times. Parker was our server. Very attentive and such a plus to this establishment. Thank you crew for making this day one of my best this year! read more

I haven't had the opportunity to stay here yet since I am local but I've attended several events as well as ate at Green Valley Grill and it's always a good time. Most recently I attended the Thursday night Cocktails and Jazz events and they were great. It's a smaller intimate setting so be sure to get there early to secure seating. There's a small appetizer menu that you'll find something you'd enjoy. The drinks and bartender staff are amazing and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend as a cozy night out with friends, a romantic outing for couples, or a solo date. Either way, you'll enjoy all the OHenry has to offer! read more

I love the tea time here. It is such a whimsical experience. I took my niece here for some girl time. We wore cute spring dresses and got to try the butterfly pea flower tea, and it was marvelous, sweet, floral, and purple! The treats that we got were delicious as well. My favorite was the cucumber finger sandwich, light, and wonderful! We sat in the Caldwell room, which has the story of the gift of the magi written among the ceiling, which brought back nostalgia from reading this story of love and selflessness as a child. This room overlooks a beautiful garden, which I assume tea can also be taken, but it was raining that day. Overall, it was such a fanciful luncheon. read more

I had afternoon tea with my family for Thanksgiving today and it was such a wonderful experience. We have been coming to the O'Henry for several years now and it has always been such a treat. However, I have been significantly impressed by the overall experience more than ever over the past few months. Claire was our tea server today and she was polite, enthusiastic, and so helpful when recommending options and substitutions for my dairy allergy. The hotel was cozy and stunning with the Christmas decor and it felt so special. Thank you to all the wonderful staff working on a holiday to make the occasion that much better for the guests! read more

December 2022 Review: I had a 5-star experience at this hotel. We checked in on a Thursday afternoon and the greater lobby area was filled with folks for Afternoon Tea. Our room was nice and had a blue sky with clouds painted on the ceiling. The branded robes were comfy to chill out in. That night we attended the weekly live jazz downstairs. It was pretty packed -- both locals and hotel guests had made reservations beforehand, so we stood by the jazz bar, listened and charged spiked hot ciders to our room. The hotel is conveniently located next to a big shopping plaza with a Whole Foods, Barnes and Noble and lots of retail. GLUTEN FREE Food Review: The staff is extremely knowledgeable about allergens. The hotel restaurant is the Green Valley Grill which also provides their room service. Roasted Chicken Salad Croissant: I got it on a gluten free bun and the French fries were gluten free. Wish the chicken salad had dried cranberries but overall great. 5/5 Blue Crab and Spinach Dip: We swapped the pita for side greens. It tasted good but was more filling that I expected because of the cream cheese-like consistency. 3/5 Avocado Ciabatta Toasts: I got this for room service and the avocado was greying a lot by the time I removed the tin. But poached egg and gluten free multigrain were really good. We swapped hash browns for greens. 3/5 Steel Cut Oats: I would have liked for fruit to be included by default, but it was good consistency and came with whole pecans and brown sugar sides. 5/5 Coffee: 5/5 Mushroom Bisque: I got a cup and couldn't taste any mushroom. It was kind of thin so I dumped the whole Parmesan side into it which was fine. 2/5 Sweet Josie Brown Ale Braised Pork Shank: They made it gluten free for me. A tad dry -- not a "falls off the bone" type. But good portion sizes for meat, mashed potato and wilted greens. 4/5 Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée: Just hold the cookie and it's GF. HUGE. Made to share. Raspberry sauce is impeccable and the top is like glass. 6/5 Cauliflower Bread (the gf complimentary bread option): One of the best gluten free carbs I've eaten. Chewy consistency, served warm. 5/5 Nearby gluten free options: Undercurrent (great dining, potential review to come), and the restaurant of their sister hotel, Print Works Bistro. Guests of O'Henry can even charge Print Works to their room. read more
