The Rosebery Opens At Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London

To celebrate the opening, Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London is offering guests an overnight stay in one of the hotel's Courtyard King rooms inclusive of English breakfast served in the dining room overlooking Hyde Park or in-room, and Afternoon Tea for two in The Rosebery. Rates start from GBP539 (inclusive of 20% VAT), subject to availability.

Afternoon Tea at The Rosebery is served with a selection of fresh sandwiches, pastries, scones and seasonal jams all created by the hotel's dedicated team of chefs. In conjunction with The East India Company, signature blends of Breakfast, Afternoon and Directors Reserve have been exclusively crafted to Mandarin Oriental's specifications, together with a selection of speciality teas. In particular, the Oriental Afternoon Blend has been created to linger on the palate as an ideal afternoon pick-me-up. Uniquely, two high-grown single estate teas from very different regions - Orange Pekoe from Sri Lanka and the Golden Monkey leaf from China combine for a soft, full, gentle yet textured profile.

During the morning, viennoisserie and Danish pastries are served including a selection of house-made croissants and muffins alongside the bespoke Mandarin Morning Blend of tea, which combines tea selected from the misty hills of Ceylon, the lush estates of Assam and the Kenyan Highlands, robust and deep while retaining character; the perfect way to start the day. Once the evening begins, the elegant lounge will transform into a Champagne Bar, offering premier champagnes and champagne cocktails.

Commenting on the new addition to Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, General Manager Anthony McHale said; “Complementing our existing restaurants, which include two-Michelin starred Dinner by Heston Blumenthal and Bar Boulud, the buzzing French-style brasserie and wine bar, The Rosebery further enhances Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park's position as the ultimate gastronomic destination in London”.

Commenting on partnership, The East India Company's Chairman Sanjiv Mehta, says; “We are proud to continue the tradition started with The East India Company's first voyages east 400 years ago, bringing tea first to London and then to the tables of the world. Working in collaboration with Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London and its passionate team to create perfect teas, for what is sure to be one of the finest tea rooms in the world, has been an exciting journey for The East India Company. Just as the company's tea clippers raced back with the finest teas of the season, our Tea Master has personally selected teas from some of the finest tea estates to create an unrivalled tea library with rare teas and bespoke blends crafted exclusively for Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park.”

Capitalizing on the hotel's iconic location in the heart of fashionable Knightsbridge, the interior design, by G&A Designs, captures the room's Victorian origins, blended with contemporary touches. The design also makes full use of the expansive space and height of the room and its abundance of natural light. A beautiful fireplace is a central feature, together with specially commissioned one-of-a kind art pieces. Every element in creating the Afternoon Tea and Champagne salon has been truly bespoke, including the new Rosebery China Collection by William Edwards, glassware by John Jenkins and uniforms designed by one of Britain's young fashion designers, Charlotte Taylor.
