In the 1920s, tango tea dances were an essential part of social life and quickly became the trademark of
The Waldorf Hilton hotel. As part of its centenary celebrations, the Tango Tea has returned. Hilton first reintroduced Tango Tea in June 2007 and has been holding the events regularly ever since.
