Located in the heart of Knightsbridge, The Rosebery at Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park offers an elegant and quintessentially British setting for afternoon tea, all-day dining and champagne cocktails. With its serene atmosphere, contemporary design and views across one of London’s most fashionable neighbourhoods, it’s the perfect spot to unwind in style.
The Rosebery is best known for its award-winning Afternoon Tea – a beautifully crafted experience that blends tradition with innovation. Served from whimsical hanging cake stands, the menu features a seasonal twist on the classic British ritual. Delicate sandwiches, freshly baked raisin and plain scones, and a selection of exquisite handmade pastries are paired with your choice from a bespoke collection of 29 loose-leaf teas. For those seeking something different, pairing options also include sparkling tea, wine, sake and even beer.
This season’s Botanical Afternoon Tea is inspired by the soft reawakening of Hyde Park in spring. Ingredients are carefully chosen to reflect the park’s gentle transformation – think floral notes, herbal hints and fresh, balanced flavours. Sandwiches are elevated with British ingredients such as slow-roasted Hereford beef with mustard tartare, Scottish smoked salmon with citrus crème fraîche, and Clarence Court egg with black truffle. The experience continues with scones, a strawberry and cream pre-dessert, and an artful pastry selection including a Lychee & Apple Sphere and an Earl Grey and Lapsang Tea Chocolate Tart.
Guests can also enjoy a slice of cake from The Mandarin Cake Shop, either as part of the Afternoon Tea or beautifully boxed to take home. With everything handmade in-house by the hotel’s award-winning pastry team, the quality is second to none.
For those looking to gift the experience, The Rosebery also offers ‘Tea & Therapy’ – a luxurious pairing of afternoon tea with spa treatments at the hotel. Whether you’re stopping by for a glass of champagne, indulging in seasonal cakes or treating someone to a memorable afternoon, The Rosebery is a refined and delightful space that captures the essence of modern British hospitality.
