FAQ

What's the difference between afternoon tea and high tea?

Afternoon tea is a mid-afternoon experience of sweet and savoury bites and pastries paired with tea. High tea historically referred to a heartier early-evening meal in England, though in modern usage the two terms are often used interchangeably. At The Lounge, we invite you to enjoy our seasonal afternoon tea in the elegant setting.

Is The Lounge open to guests not staying at the Hotel?

Yes, reservations at The Lounge are accepted for both in-house and outside guests. You can arrange a table for afternoon tea, coffee or light bites along the Chao Phraya River, or explore our wider dining collection during your visit. Advance booking is recommended, particularly on weekends and during peak seasons.

Can The Lounge accommodate dietary requirements?

Yes, we offer curated vegan, gluten-free and lactose-free options alongside classic afternoon tea, with vegetarian dishes available across the menu. Please inform our reservations team of any allergies, intolerances or preferences at the time of booking, so our culinary team can tailor a thoughtful experience to suit.

Is there a dress code at The Lounge?

While there is no formal dress code, smart casual attire is recommended for afternoon tea, in keeping with the atmosphere of our Hotel. The setting is intimate and welcoming rather than overly formal. For celebratory occasions or private gatherings, our reservations team is happy to advise on more specific attire recommendations.
