Right on the corner of Pall Mall and Waterloo Place at The Sofitel St. James Hotel, the elegantly appointed Rose Lounge provides a tranquil setting in which guests can unwind while indulging in the pleasure of taking afternoon tea. Traditional British design with a French touch gives it an ambience that is all its own, complementing the English heritage grade II listed building in which it is ensconced.

Presented in an exclusive china service designed by Bernardaud, afternoon tea at The Rose Lounge offers choice of Jing tea, finger sandwiches and warm freshly baked homemade scones served with Devonshire clotted cream and rose scented raspberry jam. Additionally, there's a selection of miniature French pastries and a rose and litchi champagne cocktail to enhance the pleasure. The teas on offer include long jin, Darjeeling, vanilla black tea, tie guan yin and organic silver needle. A continental breakfast with freshly made croissants and French pastries is also served here.
