Frosted Winter Wonderland in partnership with Waterford
We're delighted to unveil our Frosted Winter Wonderland from 1st December, created in partnership with luxury crystal house Waterford.
At the heart of the hotel, you’ll find our grand Christmas tree shimmering with Waterford crystal snowflakes, stars and icicles. Soft sage tones, pearlescent whites, silvers and frosted foliage add a gentle glow, finished with velvet bows, blue berries and a radiant crystal star above beautifully wrapped gifts.
As you explore the hotel, you’ll see fireplaces dressed with frosted wreaths and Waterford ornaments glistening in the firelight. Our staircase is adorned with cascading garlands, sage velvet bows and crystal accents, while a striking Waterford nutcracker installation — surrounded by crystal Christmas trees — highlights the craftsmanship behind the collection.
To toast the season, you can enjoy a bespoke Irish Coffee served fireside in an iconic Waterford Lismore glass, or visit The K Bar for a theatrical tableside Chocolatini, poured into a Lismore Red Martini glass inspired by the Gothic architecture of Lismore Castle.
For an extra touch of indulgence, our Signature Suites feature in-room bars stocked with pieces from Waterford’s Mastercraft collection, including the Irish Lace Decanter Set. Enjoy fine wines, whiskey or champagne in exquisite Waterford crystalware beneath the glow of Waterford chandeliers.
Let Us Eat Cake - The Festive Edition
Throughout December, we unveil a festive edition of our celebrated Let Us Eat Cake afternoon tea - inspired by the Marie Antoinette Style exhibition at the V&A Museum, running in South Kensington until March 2026.
This limited-edition menu brings a Christmas sparkle to 18th-century decadence, with seasonal touches such as Roasted Turkey sandwiches, indulgent Mince Pies and a White Chocolate & Coconut Christmas Bauble.
Served in our beautiful Drawing Room, this exquisitely presented afternoon tea captures the spirit of the season with a refined menu of handcrafted patisserie, freshly baked scones, festive mince pies and delicate sandwiches, every day from noon to 4pm.
On the 6th, 7th, 14th, 20th, 21st and 27th December, the gentle sounds of a live harpist will fill The Drawing Room, enhancing the festive setting for afternoon tea guests.
On 12th and 13th December, a live illustrator will capture the moment with a stunning, personalised hand drawn illustration - a complimentary keepsake for every afternoon tea guest.
