[2024 London Stay] Travel Guide for Hotel Cafe Royal (Updated Dec)
London | Must try afternoon tea in Hotel Cafe Royal
Hotel Café Royal
📍10 Air St, London W1B 4DY
Hotel Café Royal is a stunning 5-star hotel, famous for its afternoon tea, once frequented by Oscar Wilde.
The interior is luxurious and opulent, and the historical charm of the space added to the magic—our table even had a plaque noting it was once visited by a novelist, giving us a sense of stepping back in time to meet iconic figures!
Tea Selection: There’s a wide variety of teas available, and you can switch freely. I personally enjoyed the Earl Grey—its rich, fragrant aroma paired perfectly with the sandwiches and scones.
Sandwiches: A selection of flavors, including cucumber, smoked salmon, chicken, and beef, all beautifully prepared. The crispy biscuit with tomato on top added a touch of Spanish flair—unexpected yet delicious.
Scones & Desserts: The scones were impeccably crafted, but the highlight was the Van Gogh-inspired chocolates and pastries. A tiny chocolate self-portrait was presented on a miniature easel—adorable and inventive! The coffee notes balanced the sweetness of the chocolate perfectly.

London | Brilliant Afternoon tea which is also the celebrity’s favourite
It wasn’t my first time having afternoon tea at Hotel Café Royal, but this time I went around noon, and the brighter lighting made it even better.
The Golden Room is luxurious and elegant, surrounded by gold leaf decorations, making it incredibly glamorous and perfect for photos!
There were plenty of tea options for afternoon tea. The ones I chose were quite good, including one related to Churchill, which had a slightly strong smoky flavor.
The scones were absolutely stunning, not only served with the usual cream and strawberry jam but also with Earl Grey jelly. The jelly was very refreshing and blended beautifully into the scones, leaving a subtle tea fragrance—a memorable touch.
The desserts were all beautifully crafted, combining both visual appeal and great taste!

Let me begin my comment by saying: the smell here was amazing & unique 💕
I loved the hotel, with its bright luxurious design , contemporary modern . very clean & well kept
Location : GREAT , though it is in the heart of the city, the sound isolation is good enough 👍
We had the ( grand deluxe room ), beds were comfortable , the view is amazing on Regent st ( which is great bonus in holidays season 😍) you have to ask for it , since not all rooms have the same view. The lights & curtains keys are easy to use unlike some comments read here? There is nespresso coffee machine of course,, and the water bottles all complementary 😍
Receptionist were okay in general, but special shout out to Georgina Baldwin who made our stay special & memorable , introduced us to the room & facilities , she was really sweeeet with my son 😻😻
Housekeeping: morning & turn down, though they missed a morning cleaning once, but we were compensated by late checkout
Facilities: bubbles cafe, green bar, the grill restaurant ,, I really regret not trying the afternoon tea in there 💔 they also have spa but we didn’t have the time to use it as well,, may be next time💗
Unfortunately the kids club were closed , it’s only open in UK school holidays time , really wish it’s open all year long
