"The Dorchester’s lobby, The Promenade, is known as ‘the drawing room of Mayfair’ – hotel guests flutter through in elegant attire, long-time residents settle in to their favourite spots with a paper, and tourists tuck into the legendary afternoon tea."
"Afternoon tea is served five times a day in The Dorchester's famous marble and gilt Promenade. Enjoy a selection of finger sandwiches followed by warm scones with jam and cream, French pastries and a choice of fine and rare teas."
"There's a lot to be said for creating a winning formula and running with it. Afternoon Tea at The Dorchester is a rather traditional affair, served in the Park Lane hotel's grand Promenade lobby with its huge throne-like chairs to sink into, a pianist gently tinkling away and the heady scent of lilies filling the air."
"Served every day along the sweeping and elegant Promenade, the executive chefs have conjured up a mouth-watering selection of finger sandwiches, scones and sweet pastries that will delight afternoon tea connoisseurs."
"While my inner American still felt a connection to them, my future Brit was satisfied with my choice of afternoon tea at The Dorchester. Maybe six years of living in London has rubbed off on me after all."
"The Dorchester is perfect for those traditional afternoon tea takers for whom glamour and glitz coupled with eyeing up fellow diners is part and parcel of the whole ritual."
"The hotel also lay on high tea, with a selection of bigger dishes available. They're also proud of their tea offerings, and especially worth noting are the Dalreoch White Tea, Dalreoch Smoked Tea, and the Garrocher Grey."
"Afternoon Tea is a wonderful British tradition and London's grand hotels do it best. Taking Afternoon Tea in The Promenade at The Dorchester has been a tradition for 75 years and the phrase still conjures up sumptuous images of well-mannered staff, delightfully luxurious surroundings, beautifully-prepared delicacies and superb teas served in fragile bone china."
