English High Tea Service
While High Tea is common at many places around the world, it is most famously known as being an experience and steeped in centuries of tradition. One of the most well known places and also rated as one of the best tea’s in London is Brown’s Hotel, now part of the luxury Rocco Forte Collection.
The tea is served with generous portions and one category allows you to eat as much as you’d like of any of the menu items. Tea is served in the traditional silver teapots and hot water is constantly refreshed. There are more than a dozen selections of fine tea to choose from. You will certainly not leave hungry or dissatisfied. Quite the opposite.
Brown’s is composed of 11 Georgian town houses, and all 117 bedrooms (including 29 luxurious suites) which have each been individually designed. The floors still creak which gives the hotel a ton of character. In addition to luxurious accommodations, Brown’s Hotel has The Albemarle Restaurant, The Donovan Bar, a relaxing spa, plus The English Tea Room which has become a British institution.
The Hotel itself has an amazing history. Rudyard Kipling wrote The Jungle Book there in the Tea Room and there are many other famous authors who were guests such as Agatha Christie. Brown’s was the first ever London Hotel. The beautifully designed Donovan Bar has become quite a regular hangout for Londoners as well as guests, who sit comfortably with friends and co-workers to wind down the work day.
