The hotel offers a feast of dining options, including the Chef’s Table restaurant in the heart of the kitchen, traditional Afternoon Tea in the lounge and conservatory, the Oasis poolside restaurant, The Red Room underground Pan-Asian restaurant, a vibrant Planet bar which spills out onto the terrace, picnics and Harvest Tables in the gardens and Sunday Jazz Brunches and multiple venue spaces for the ultimate celebration.
