Booked a High Tea at the Intercontinental which was served at the Arch Bar. First time having a high tea and wasn’t sure what the hype was about for little sandwiches and tea. Well I was wrong… first off the restaurant/bar is beautiful. We were seated in high back lounge chairs that were well spaced out so it’s not bumping into another table. Servers were amazing. I probably have the names wrong but Vitora and Jalia were very kind. They asked if we were high tea newbies and we were. So they clearly explained how high teas work and what to expect. Then they talked about the teas and what to choose. We selected our teas I picked Elizabeth 1 and it was delicious. Then the trays of our teas came. First savory sandwiches. All very beautiful looking almost too pretty to eat. Most tasted delicious, some were ok. Sandwiches were very filling. 2nd course more tea and scones with clotted cream and jam. Very tender scones, beautiful clotted cream, jams too sweet. Was too full from the sandwiches and tea to try both scones. Then last course multiple desserts. All very beautiful looking- cakes looking like crowns. Amazing. Staff constantly checked on us and even took photos for us which added to the experience. We didn’t have the stomach to eat all the desserts it was delicious but way too much food. We asked for take out and they kindly packed up everything. The bonus was they asked if we were celebrating a special occasion- I explained my daughter was graduating and to our surprise they provided a plate of more cakes! It was so over the top and very lovely. We definitely enjoyed the special treatment and felt like the rich and famous! Thank you to the staff for such a great experience for our first time. Will come back again!

I had the pleasure of spending an evening at the Arch Bar on Park Lane and it completely exceeded my expectations. The setting is elegant but comfortable. A refined atmosphere that never feels too formal. It’s the kind of place where you can relax into the evening while enjoying top-tier service. Giuliana welcomed us with such genuine warmth and charm that it immediately set the tone for the night. She was attentive, thoughtful, and clearly takes pride in making guests feel valued. Federico brought a calm confidence to the experience. His professionalism stood out in the best way. He moved with quiet precision. Always present without ever hovering. He added a level of polish that made the evening feel special. The cocktails were expertly made. Each one showed clear attention to balance and detail. You can tell the bartenders here know their craft. The selection of spirits is impressive without being overwhelming. Everything felt curated. Not crowded. This wasn’t just a night out. It felt like a real experience. The team at Arch Bar has created something that blends sophistication with genuine hospitality. I’ll absolutely be returning soon.
