Afternoon Tea Awards 2023 - 'Award of Excellence'

The Cadogan, A Belmond Hotel, London, a proud hotel partner of London’s leading cultural institution, the Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A), is pleased to announce a new collaboration celebrating the upcoming ‘Marie Antoinette Style’ exhibition.

Inspired by the exhibition’s innovative use of scent to evoke the life and style of the iconic queen, Benoit Blin has meticulously crafted an original Afternoon Tea menu featuring a range of delicacies, each thoughtfully designed to evoke the scents and tastes of Marie Antoinette's world.

From the Tarragon Lemonde welcome drink reminiscent of Versailles' gardens, to the ‘Queen's Pear and Pistoles’ chocolate creation inspired by Louis XVI's pharmacist Sulpice Debauve, every element tells a scented story.

Located on Sloane Street, The Cadogan Lounge by Benoit Blin is perfectly situated for the high-end retail of Knightsbridge, the Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea as well as the nearby Victoria & Albert Museum, Science Museum and Natural History Museum.
