Met by concierge James Lazarides who welcomed our party to the Grand and advised us where to go. James was extremely accommodating and engaging, taking the time to tell us about the history of the hotel. We found this very interesting particularly as 2 of our party were visiting from Australia and were keen to learn about the building. The food was plentiful and delicious. The staff who looked after us, particularly Lily and Harry, were friendly,courteous and very helpful. We would highly recommend a visit to the hotel and definitely the afternoon tea.
