1 | Rooms Fit For Royalty — From deluxe rooms to impressive suites and even entire wings, few hotels can boast the range of space options that Hotel Café Royal has. The grand dame of the hotel's accommodation options, the Dome Penthouse Wing, has 12 bedrooms and spans more than 7,000 square feet. | 2 | Akasha Spa — Relax and unwind at Akasha Spa, an urban retreat in the heart of London where a holistic approach to wellbeing is the MO. Take a guided journey to health, happiness, and balance through use of the spacious facilities for exercise and massage or options for nutrition, meditation, Reiki, and even London's first Watsu pool. | 3 | Work Up a Sweat — Within Akasha Spa there is a 3,230-square-foot gym with LifeFitness equipment, personal entertainment centers with 19” touch screens and iPad docks, personal trainers, and a range of classes to keep you feeling fit as ever. |
4 | Cakes & Bubbles — There are more than six dining options on property at Hotel Café Royal, but Cakes & Bubbles is a standout. Some claim pastry chef Albert Adrià is the best in the world, so don't miss the opportunity to sample his famous sweets. Expect exceptional desserts and pastries served alongside a wide selection of Champagne and sparkling wines; a lunch menu is also available. | 5 | History Around Every Corner — Hotel Café Royal's story begins in 1863, when a French wine merchant arrived in England to escape creditors in Paris. To trace the story from there to the creation of London legend Café Royal, you'll have to book a room. | 6 | Afternoon Tea Etiquette Classes — Not sure how to conduct yourself in a space so chic? Take an afternoon tea etiquette class and worry no more about slipping up with an unfashionable faux pas. Available on July 26, August 30, September 27, and October 25, the exclusive sessions will be hosted by William Hanson, director of The English Manner, a leading etiquette institute. |
