This is a review of the GB Smoking Lounge, not for the hotel itself.

Having had a large breakfast and a reasonable sized lunch we weren't feeling too hungry for supper. So we skipped straight to dessert at the GB Smoking Lounge. We were greeted warmly at the entrance by a lady who showed us to our seating.

We ordered a pastry and a chocolate mousse cake, along with tea. The pastry was fine but the cake was absolutely divine and worth the extravagance of the price and location by itself. The tea service reminded us of the one at the London Ritz.

The lounge is elegant and sumptuous, with a pianist playing in the background. Bit overkill for dessert but we enjoyed our surroundings as much as the food. I actually preferred the lounge to the Rooftop restaurant, the dessert was much better and I suspect the other food might be too.
