Your New Favorite Afternoon Tea: The Marigold Club

Your New Favorite Afternoon Tea: The Marigold Club

WHEN ENVISIONING The Marigold Club, afternoon tea was destined to be a cornerstone — a sophisticated nod to the lavish charm of Mayfair London infused with French culinary flair and a dash of Houston’s bold spirit.


Afternoon tea at The Marigold Club takes tradition for a spin, pairing classics like clotted cream and jam with creative delights such as Vadouvan Chicken Salad, Wagyu Pastrami, a Figgy Toffee Scone, and English Gougères filled with velvety chicken-liver mousse.

For $75 per guest, the tea experience delivers an exquisite lineup of sweet and savory bites, including Smoked Salmon perched on a sesame financier with a crown of osetra caviar, delicate wagyu pastrami finger sandwiches, and zesty orange-cardamom scones. Dessert lovers, brace yourselves: chocolate crèmeux tarts, pear tarts topped with vanilla whipped ganache, and Earl Grey tarts bursting with bergamot curd are just a few of the indulgent offerings. To top it all off, a curated tea selection from Brooklyn’s Bellocq Tea Atelier is presented tableside, allowing guests to indulge their senses by smelling each blend before choosing their perfect cup.

Tea service at The Marigold Club, available every Friday through Sunday from 10:30am-2:30pm, perfectly complements its newly launched, indulgent brunch. This decadent spread boasts delights like a King Crab Tart, crispy-yet-tender Chicken Milanese, fluffy French Omelets, and an elevated Croque Madame. For the ultimate treat, savor their Caviar & Potato Soldier, perched atop a golden, perfectly crisp hashbrown. And don’t forget the house-made pastries — think chocolate brioche filled with Earl Grey crème diplomat — crafted to make your weekend mornings utterly unforgettable.

All of this indulgence unfolds in one of The Marigold Club’s three enchanting spaces. Lounge on plush velvet banquettes beneath a dazzling hand-blown Murano chandelier, surrounded by the hand-painted mural of the main dining room. Bask in the elegance of the newly redesigned atrium, or step into the charming pink room, where fringe lighting adds just the right touch of whimsy.

So what are you waiting for? We’ve spilled the tea — now it’s your turn to sip it!

The lobby of White Elephant Palm Beach

COVERED IN VERDANT vines and flanked by tall palm trees, the entrance to the White Elephant Palm Beach feels like passing into a stately home, rather than one of the island’s newest resorts. The building is 101 years old, and while the original footprint and façade remain, the interior has a decidedly updated, ultra-luxe beach vibe.

Photographer Jhane Hoang with two covers she photographed

ONE OF Houston CityBook’s most beloved photographers was recently diagnosed with stage four cervical cancer. Jhane Hoang has been behind the camera for some of the magazine’s most ambitious shoots — including an overnight shoot at the then-new Weiss Energy Hall at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, and a cold rainy shoot at the Houston Zoo where the crew used a concessions stand as a staging area for hair and makeup.
