Sky Lounge

Lovely afternoon tea! We opted for the classic afternoon tea at £24.95 per person with unlimited tea or coffee and we were offered a good range of options for both. Cocktails, prosecco or champagne can also be added to the afternoon tea package for an additional cost. The food was lovely, we particularly enjoyed the sandwiches, which had a lovely selection of fillings. Service was friendly and efficient and we were kept well topped up with tea and coffee throughout. The restaurant is on the 13th floor and normally has great views of the city. Sadly it was a rainy day for our visit so unfortunately we couldn't properly appreciate the view but thoroughly enjoyed the experience anyway.

Sunday afternoon tea at Sky Lounge was a lovely experience with my OH, which we'd booked through buyagift. Booking was easy by phone and we were sent a text reminder the day before to confirm our booking. Had a beautiful window seat and service was friendly and efficient. Our finger sandwiches were excellent and probably the highlight of the afternoon tea. The Mango and passionfruit torte & the White chocolate raspberry delice were sublime. However the Mini chocolate fudge cake and Clementine tartlet were slightly stale and tasted like something from a poor supermarket bakery. The scones also didn't seem fresh and were heavy and brick like, rather than light and fluffy. They were saved by the Bonne Maman strawberry jam and the clotted cream. Great views and a chilled vibe. Would definitely consider coming back. Although as the sweet offerings were a bit of a mixed bag, we both agreed that a savoury only afternoon tea might work better, with a greater selection of delicious sandwiches or other additional savoury items instead.

NEW VISIT 2/16/25 and still a great view and our drinks were well crafted and delicious. Another perfect porn star martini and a wonderful old fashioned. The vouchers now with your stay are a great deal if you don’t want to order house items you can order what you like and they will apply a £7.50 credit which means an awesome drink in my case with a fabulous view for £5 since I had a voucher. Wow deal of the day. 15 ladies partying made the place lively and I enjoyed it yet again! I have been to this lounge a few times already and the porn star martini here is really good. They are located on the 13 floor of the doubletree hotel and have Al wonderful views of the city. The hotel gives guests staying in some room catergories a drink voucher which can be used here or downstairs for a free house wine beer or soft drink. They bring you a water and small bowl of pretzels upon arrival and if you sit outdoors there is above heating so it can be pleasant even if windy or a bit cold. Very pretty decor and I like coming here for a drink. When I used the voucher I gave a £1 per drink which is an amazing deal. Prices for my martini was £11.95 and was worth that too!
