Palm Court

This is a very old-fashioned hotel. How old is it? There are two taps for cold water and hot water. That is, if you want to wash your hands with hot water, you have to turn on the cold and hot water taps at the same time and put them in a basin, so that it can become warm, instead of directly letting cold and hot water come out of the same tap. Fortunately, the room rate of this hotel skyrocketed during the Edinburgh Art Festival and it was difficult to book a good room. Fortunately, I didn't book this hotel. I just passed by and went in to have a cup of coffee and use the bathroom. The coffee tasted so-so, so I didn't take a picture. Here are a few panoramic pictures of the hotel. There are always doormen wearing Scottish national costumes playing Scottish bagpipes at the entrance of the hotel.

It's very suitable to come with friends on weekends and spend a happy weekend! I also recommend everyone to come

It’s so delicious that I’m really the most loyal fan. I can’t resist the temptation of the delicious taste!

Enjoying an authentic afternoon tea is a must-have when traveling in the UK. After all, the "afternoon tea" culture originated from this and spread to the world. For an afternoon tea, I went to the Balmoral Hotel in the center of Edinburgh. The Palm Court is well-known in the local area. It is said that Queen Elizabeth likes to have afternoon tea here every time she comes to Edinburgh. The environment of The Palm Court is very elegant, and the glass ceiling and Venetian chandeliers create a luxurious feeling. Like the classical appearance of the hotel, the restaurant also reveals a classical flavor, a bit of Victorian flavor. The three words "afternoon tea" often make people feel relaxed and leisurely, but the authentic British afternoon tea actually made me feel solemn because it has a full sense of ritual. First of all, its tea set is very particular, with exquisite porcelain and silverware, which is pleasing to the eye. British afternoon tea has fixed etiquette, such as the quality of tea, the essentials of brewing, and the way of displaying tea snacks. Tea snacks are usually sandwiches, cakes and scones, which are salty first and sweet later, and are delicious. I always thought that the tea ceremony in China was very complicated, but when I came to the UK, I found that the authentic British afternoon tea was no less complicated, with a sense of ritual. It seems that the British understand tea. #DessertAfternoonTea #RomanticDatingRestaurant #MonthlySpecialPlan
