This luxurious international hotel chain (whose 300-room original is the oldest hotel in Hong Kong) opened just south of trafficky Hyde Park Corner in September 2023. Its “extravagantly decorated” ground-floor Cantonese dining room has received a mixed rep in the newspapers (in his January 2024 review, Giles Coren in The Times said it “didn’t pass muster”) but our reports suggest a fair performance by the standards of posh hotel chains. Its advocates say it’s “very expensive but faultless” with “amazing” and “perfectly served” cuisine (particularly classic dishes such as seafood dumplings, char sui and Peking Duck, which all receive a thumbs-up). And service is praised as “really helpful, accommodating and professional”. Those who are less convinced don’t damn it but say “it’s overpriced for food that’s only OK, and served in a windowless room”. (There’s also Brooklands at roof level, see also).

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
