Lovely tea this afternoon. Lovely hotel. Food was delicious and my dog enjoyed the treat.. although as it was a very warm day.. she fell promptly asleep so we really did have to a doggy bag to take home. Enjoyed the treat. My pup was very happy.
The savory part of the afternoon tea was delicious!! The service was excellent and the tea and tea selections fabulous!!! The scones were warm and tasty too! The desserts for the afternoon tea were not to our liking it was a floral collaboration and it really did taste like flowers, it was over powering of flower flavors. But they were beautiful! I’m
The pea quiche and chicken sandwich was amazing! Sadly the smoked salmon and egg sandwich were nothing special next to them. For the sweets, they were generally good but the jasmine and bergamot mousse was spectacular! Also take a look around the hotel afterwards.
Nice banquet hall like room, no view of external surroundings. About 6-7 small portions for afternoon tea, cost about $72 per person

My wife and I went to the Parlour for their festive afternoon tea. It was quite an enjoyable experience.
Tea was great. Both savoury bites and sweets were beautifully made and tasted fantastic. We especially found the sweets well-crafted and presented.
The room itself felt cozy and home-like.

If you are like me and overwhelmed by the amount of afternoon teas available in London, do yourself a favor and book this restaurant. It was fabulous and all of your tea dreams will be satisfied! We went at 12:30 on a Tuesday and it was not busy so it’s perfect for a relaxing afternoon tea. The parlors is fairly small so it’s an intimate experience with very professional and friendly staff.
We were waited by a kind, knowledgeable Italian gentleman who gave us the best tea pairing suggestions for the well thought out menu. There menus probably changes seasonally so my food experience might be different than yours but I was amazed by the variations of flavors and the detail into the sweets and the savories. The meal consisted of flavors like lime, tonka, rhubarb, blackcurrant, curry, caviar, truffle, mint, and more! (Not altogether at once, of course but those were flavors present in the course of the afternoon tea).
Think of how long the sweets took to bake and assemble, you know there was a lot of careful consideration put into the menu. (I mean just look at that green, floral sphere of deliciousness!)
I’m just happy to have found a place in London that provided an excellent experience. When you’re a tourist like me it can be difficult knowing what to expect so take it from my experience that this place is wonderful.
PS the ingredients and teas are high quality. You can tell. Happy sipping!
I would like to give 6 stars - if that was available… This was my first afternoon tea experience so we spent some time finding a good one… Definitely worth it… The atmosphere - the food, a total experience!
One additional advantage is during reservation it is stated that your time slot is 90 minutes, our reservation was at 15:30 and we didn’t have a time restriction…
What sets a great afternoon tea from a mediocre one, in my opinion, is the inventiveness. Instead of another boring cream cheese and cucumber finger sandwich, here you have a savory eclair with artichoke mousse. Instead of boring strawberry jam with the scones, there's apple and cranberry one. And I couldn't remember the dessert names, but don't worry, yet another Victoria sponge is not one of them.
One the best places for high tea. We’re spoilt with champagne, savoury delights, warm scones, assortment of cakes and pastries, wide selection of quality black/white/green tea. The service is top notch, thank you!
Absolutely gorgeous hotel with beautifully decorated spaces. The high tea was a delight and a feast for the senses: savoury and sweet food accompanied by a carefully curated range of teas to suit every palate. Our server was charming and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!
