Friendsgiving in the Champagne Room

About this event

After a week of family gatherings, leftovers, and long drives home, this is your invitation to exhale.

On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, we're gathering in the Champagne Room at Ambassador Gold Coast for a holiday champagne afternoon tea with the people who made our first year so special. The Chicago Afternoon Tea Society turned one on November 1st, and there's no better way to give thanks than around a beautiful table together.

What awaits you

Three-tiered trays filled with delicate finger sandwiches, warm scones, and decadent petit fours. Moët & Chandon champagne by the glass. Live holiday jazz setting the mood as the season begins.

A moment of gratitude

Before the last scone disappears, we'll go around the table and share one thing we're thankful for from this year. No speeches required, just good company and full hearts.

A little holiday bonus

The Ambassador is hosting a weekly holiday giveaway for a $1,000 Tiffany & Co. gift card. No purchase necessary to enter.
