Another visit for Afternoon Tea which confirmed my view that this is the best Afternoon Tea in London. Superb service, very friendly but neither over-bearing or over familiar. Wonderful atmosphere, beautiful setting, excellent team sandwiches, best scones I have ever tasted. Almost faultless. Would recommend. More

The atmosphere is so relaxed and unobtrusive , the staff are attentive and very polite, no snobbery. The place was fairly busy however we felt like we were the only ones... More

We had lunch in the famous Promenade, fantastic fresh flowers throughout, beautiful silk... More

Stayed here just before Christmas, what a fantastic hotel, wonderful service, beautiful room, its really classy but without that stuffiness so many of the top class hotels have. A stones throw from Oxford street, 10min easy walk, Can,t recommend this place highly enough. More

It was very unfortunate that our itinerary in Europe allowed only a night stay in this hotel in the heart of London, however, a day was long enough to become one of the hotel supporters by its ‘grace and comfort’. In addition, the friendliness felt at the reception was unforgettable. Although the Hyde Park side rooms were fully booked, ours,... More

We just returned from a seven night stay at this wonderful hotel and loved every minute of it. From the time you enter the Art Deco styled lobby, to checking in with the warm and friendly staff (one of whom then accompanies you up to your room), this is a fantastic experience at one of the world's best hotels.
