Red Carnation Hotels

SUPERB FOOD SERVED IN GLORIOUS SURROUNDINGS

With two restaurants, a separate lounge, two bars (including our new Leopard Champagne Bar), and 24-hour room service, The Rubens gives diners plenty of choice for every occasion – from cocktails, to light snacks, to traditional English afternoon tea, and fine dining.

An extensive buffet style carvery in the Old Masters' Restaurant never fails to satisfy, whereas the more formal Library Restaurant delights with sophisticated A La Carte classics, and an equally impressive selection of the finest wines.

The Palace Lounge is where friends meet for drinks, snacks, or our famous afternoon tea of freshly baked scones, finger sandwiches, and homemade cakes. Its relaxed ambience is perfect watching the activity at the Royal Mews opposite.

Adjoining the lounge is our popular Cavalry Bar, a warm and richly decorated retreat from winter weather. Here you can linger for as long as you like over an inventive cocktail, cold beer, a glass of champagne, or our own ten-year-old Inverarity single malt. In the evenings, our resident pianist creates a mood for carefree laughter and easygoing conversation.

Ideal for entertaining, our newly opened Leopard Champagne Bar provides the finest selection of Champagnes, fine wines, Whiskies, Cognacs and Armagnacs, with light dishes including Sevruga Caviar. Decorated in safari-chic, your conversations will be carried away with it's intimate, exclusive and private atmosphere! 

You may also be tempted to try Bbar, offering an South African-themed menu and a wide range of both wines and cocktails. Voted one of the Top Three Bars in the World by British Airways High Life Magazine and recommended by TopTable, it is surely worth the detour!
You even can charge your drinks at Bbar to your account in the Rubens.
