The Promenade
The Promenade is the heart of The Dorchester. Here, a welcoming and warm energy dances through the day, from the bustling breakfast and lively lunch to our world-famous afternoon tea. When evening descends, the space transforms once again into an intimate supper club that shines with the glow of good company and great surroundings.
Afternoon Tea
Celebrating the day with tea and extraordinary cakes in one of Mayfair’s most beautiful rooms is an experience that’s hard to leave and even harder to forget.
Here, amongst splendid surroundings, the British love affair with tea is celebrated in a ceremony full of style, surprise and a tremendous amount of cake. Rather than breaking with tradition, The Dorchester reinvents it with award-winning pastry creations, bringing bold new flavours combined with precise and creative craftsmanship, reflecting the British spirit of the hotel.
If you would like to gift one of your guests this afternoon with a seasonal bouquet to take home, please ask a member of our team. Prepared by our Designer Florist in our Cake & Flowers boutique and brought to your table before you leave – £95.
