The Palace Lounge

The Palace Lounge, adjoining the New York Bar, is a magnificent bright open space with panoramic views of the Royal Mews of Buckingham Palace - the King's stables. Situated in the heart of our historic hotel, the lounge boasts an ambiance that pays homage to its royal surroundings. The interiors are adorned with a timeless elegance, featuring plush furnishings, intricate detailing, and a palette of rich hues that exude sophistication.

The Palace Lounge is the perfect place to start your day with a morning coffee and a selection of delicious pastries. From 12pm, elevate your afternoon with a Royal Afternoon Tea experience.
