palm court
Elegant tea room
A palm court is a large, elegant room or lounge in a hotel, restaurant, or ocean liner, typically featuring potted palm trees and other tropical plants as decoration.
The term evokes the ornate public spaces popular in grand hotels and transatlantic liners of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, where guests would gather for tea, light meals, or live music.
