Since the opening of the Conservatorium Hotel, the lounge within the atrium of this posh accommodation has become a meeting point for business people and stylish locals who enjoy the comfort of the spacious, plush sofas underneath the high, glass roof. In addition to breakfast, sandwiches and homemade cakes, the lounge also offers an exquisite high tea with apple raisin scones and croquettes with prawns, cheese or ham. Of course, a glass of champagne alongside wouldn’t be amiss.
