Expect to be treated like royalty at this luxurious hotel overlooking Kensington Palace and Gardens - their motto is 'no request too large, no detail too small'.
The Park Lounge enjoys magnificent views of the royal property, and with its roaring fire on cooler days and stately home atmosphere at all times, it is the perfect place in which to enjoy afternoon tea. Come with friends for a chat, or curl up on your own with a good book or newspaper, and relax as you enjoy the expert service.
Afternoon Tea is also served in the very elegant Conservatory and this is the perfect area to enjoy a private Celebratory Afternoon Teas with friends or family.
Tea comes in a variety of flavours from Darjeeling to chamomile, accompanied by an assortment of traditional foods; with the Cream Tea come freshly-baked scones with Devonshire clotted cream and strawberry preserve, while the Afternoon Tea includes a selection of finger sandwiches (smoked salmon on honey and sultana bread perhaps), scones and French pastries.
For that added touch of luxury you can enjoy a glass of champagne while your tea brews. Other light meals and drinks are also served, and booking is recommended.

THE TEA MENU
Breakfast Tea
Choice Ceylon and China blacks blended for the morning hours.
Darjeeling
A harmony of expertly blended Ceylon & Darjeeling teas yielding a delicate flavour and aroma.
Green Tea
Green tea is a drink made from the steamed and dried leaves of the Camellia sinesis plant. Green tea is said to have many health benefits, including lowering your cholesterol, boosting your immune system and helping to prevent cavities and tooth decay.
Earl Grey
Perhaps the world's most famous tea. A blend of fine Ceylon, Darjeeling and China teas, lightly scented with real oil of bergamot.
Assam
The most flavourful tips form this fine black tea. Assam teas are especially good where water conditions overpower more delicate teas.
Decaffeinated
Expertly combined 100% caffeine free herbs and natural tea flavours to create a flavourful, black tea taste.
Lapsang Souchong
A China black, pan-fired over pine to produce a very smoky 'tarry' flavour. Very distinct. Large leaf, clear bright 'tarry' flavour.
Lemon with Peel
A blend of black China tea mixed with pieces of dried lemon peel to give a refreshingly citrus aroma and flavour.
Spice with pieces
China black tea blended with mixed spices and pieces of clove to offer a satisfyingly warming brew.
Chocolate Heart Tea
A balanced blend of China black tea mixed with tiny white chocolate hearts. As the tea brews, the chocolate melts into the brew to give a delicate chocolate flavour.
A selection of herbal and fruit Infusions is available
