what time did you go?

was it too touristy?

as much as you want? mmy god they would have to shove me out

I love tea stuff

"browns" in dover street was even better last time i went (admittedly about 10 years ago).not touristy at all, very good service and very parent-friendly!

No, but we used to have tea at the Grand in Brighton. Lovely it was. I especially enjoyed making the place look untidy.

Would def recommend Browns which is over the road from Ritz. Ritz is full of Americans and very touristy. Browns is old fashioned and like something out of Agatha Christie. Fab and the tea is wonderful.

"Brown's Hotel is closed for an extensive renovation and refurbishment until March 2005."

the voucher deal is an added plus

i think you'll love it wherever you go. it's an experience not to be missed!

Ok have e mialed savoy about a voucher he cn redeem when evre

any more?

I got married at Browns Hotel. Didn't have tea, though.

Fortnum & MAson's is also nice, but then v. touristy

Claridges much nicer IMO. Ritz v glitzy and the sarnies are often dry. Savoy nice and spacious but again the food wasn't great.

Claridges much more understated and smart. I adore it!

Not at the Ritz but here yummy, very nice!!

lmb we went to a lovely wedding there, it's gorgeous that atrium isn't it?

yes it really is quite stunning, we stayed there overnight once as well, in one of their standard rooms - the bathroom was divided into 3 rooms!!! imagine what a suite would be like??

still maintain Claridges is the best tea in town.

Year Claridges is lovely and so is the Lanesborough, beautiful and peaceful and Fortnum & Masons is nice too.
Ritz nice too but not my fav.

I've been to Ritz, Savoy and Claridges and I'd say Claridges is the nicest.

Was at the Savoy just last week doing a site inspection and I must say it is not one of my favourites. Needs a damn good lick of paint IMO. Nearly died at the standard of some of the bedrooms. They call it Art Deco - I call it outdated.

see cod everyone else agrees with me

Went to The Ritz about 20 years ago. Can't imagine it would change that much, too much of an institution. It was a lovely treat for us, when we were kids!!

What a brilliant idea for your Dad!
