option of taking tea in the afternoon, the working classes had their meals at midday and then again after work, between 5pm and 7pm, the latter being known as »high tea«. High tea constitutes a square meal which even today might still include delicious baked sweets like scones and rolls.

Today it tends to be around 6pm often replacing the evening dinner. My experience of three years working at a prestigious hotel would fill volumes on the emotional rides guests go on when they are granted an upgrade to the VIP lounge. Commonplace to regulars, casual customers often see it as an immense honour being bestowed upon them. So what can one expect from the VIP lounge? From a private breakfast area to a happy hour location and a dedicated business lounge, the VIP area is exactly what the respective guests want it to be. Our customers’ wish is our command.
