"Little has changed since the opening of the hotel in 1897 - doormen in top hats and white gloves still usher guests into the majestic entrance hall with its magnificent mosaic floor and grand wooden staircase, and the historic tradition of afternoon tea is still re-enacted daily."

"They're serious about tea here, enough to have been awarded membership by the British Tea Council and to have won an 'Award of Excellence' from the Tea Guild, back in 2013. Enjoy the afternoon tea exactly for what it is: a really rather splendid way to enjoy an afternoon."

Alexandra D. Foster

"I highly recommend the Connaught if high tea is on your agenda next time you are in London."

Charlotte Richmond

"We have all enjoyed an afternoon tea at one time or another but I promise you, none will be as splendid as the afternoon tea served at the Connaught."
