The Lanesborough, Oetker Collection

Positive Review I recently stayed at this hotel and had an amazing experience. The rooms were spacious and clean, with modern amenities. The service was top-notch, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant was delicious. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling. Negative Review Stayed at this hotel recently and was quite disappointed. The room was small and the air conditioning didn't work well. The service was slow and the staff seemed uninterested. The breakfast was also rather limited. I won't be coming back.

Visited the Lanesborough hotel for the Bridgeton afternoon tea. It was such a lovely time with delicious sandwiches, scones and sweet treats all themed. The tea was fresh, hot, sweet and spicy. They offered a gluten free menu which was presented beautifully. The service was spot on and the hotel is dreamy. The best time definitely recommend this place for an elegant yet relaxed tea in London.

I decided that we had reached the age whereby we stopped buying birthday gifts and instead had a treat. I arranged for us to have lunch here. We had a lovely walk along Green Park into an oasis of calm and taste. From the doormen to the cloakroom attendant, everyone was attentive and helpful. The Lanesborough Grill was very relaxed although the decor was on the formal side. All very tasteful. We arrived early and were able to enjoy a glass of Champagne. We chose the fixed menu, which is definitely in the short side, but both of us were happy to choose something from each course. The food, the wine - so tasty and beautifully presented. We worried that the portions may be so tiny that we would be grabbing something to eat on the way home, but there was no chance of that. We were completely satiated (I am lying down as I write!). We had the cheddar soufflé, the Glazed Beef Short Rib, and we each chose a different desert. We were offered side dishes - I chose the hash browns, and my husband chose the Cornish new potatoes. They provided fresh bread too. So tasty. We only really needed one side dish. We had a lovely experience and at the end they presented Dave with a tiny birthday gift. This is an an experience, and it is expensive without a doubt - at least to us (could be many, many hundreds of pounds depending upon the wine you chose), but it’s easy to spend a few hundred pounds on birthday presents without thinking that are soon forgotten. We won’t forget today in a hurry. This isn’t a restaurant we would visit regularly, but for us, as a treat, it was just wonderful. We will definitely return. One happy couple, and had a wonderful experience. Perfect in every way!
