Teatime in Cincinnati: The Netherlands Hotel

-
During our time in Cincinnati, we took tea at the Netherlands Hotel! It is an old hotel from the 1930's ~ It was very pretty inside. Decorated in original art deco. 




All ready for tea!

    This is one of my favorite venue for afternoon tea. It is less than 2 hours from where I live and just a few minutes from Melissa. I'm so glad you had a wonderful family celebration.
