    The Mistinguett Suite

    A beautifully appointed and spacious Junior Suite, with light-filled floor-length glass doors leading onto a private terrace complete with a large Compass Rose stone table, chairs and loungers. Inspired by the French actress and singer Mistinguett (1875 – 1956), who made her debut at the Casino de Paris in 1895 and appeared in venues such as Moulin Rouge and Eldorado, this suite represents the elegance of French glitz and glamour with a playful air of sophistication.

    Seamlessly blending rich colours of red, silver, grey and gold with mirrored glass, pearl mosaics, sumptuous fur fabrics and unique French furnishings, the suite provides style and total comfort in equal measure.

    Golden Tips Tea

    Enjoy our freshly baked scones, pastries and finger sandwiches alongside Ceylon Golden Tips, in partnership with specialist tea merchants PMD Tea.

    With white-glove service, this delicate tea is weighed with precision at The Rubens using golden scales; each tip is placed into the silver teapot individually with golden tweezers. The tea, which is showcased in a mahogany box lined with velvet, is infused with still mineral water to produce an extraordinary liquor and a smooth, light and mellow texture, with hints of fruity notes.

    Offer: Purchase our Golden Tips voucher for £500 for two people, which includes a bottle of Lanson Champagne (750ml) that will be sabred at your table.
