The Grill Room at Café Royal

"We like to think the design brief for The Grill Room at Hotel Café Royal went a little like this: ‘Dearest designer, we have way too much money—please make a room that looks like our wealth threw up in it’. With gold, velvet, and mirrors, this is by far the most opulent room hosting afternoon tea in London. When you sit down in the Piccadilly Circus hotel, the high society person inside you just can’t help but click into action—look at you nibbling excellent savouries and sweets all fancy. Keep the champagne flowing. To do otherwise would be sacrilege." - rianne shlebak, eileen twum
