3. The Lobby, Hotel Peninsula

To visit the third best tea room in the world, you can stay in China, but you will have to go to Hong Kong, to The Lobby, Peninsula Hotel.

5. Glasgow Willow Tea Rooms

The number five spot belongs to the Glasgow Willow Tea Room in Glasgow, Scotland. The tea room opened in 1904 and although it has been restored over the years, lovers of tea can still enjoy drinking it the old-fashioned way, in peace and quiet.
