Award of Excellence Winner 2026
Named in honour of the building's original designer, the celebrated British architect Edwin Lutyens, Lutyens Afternoon Tea pays tribute to a remarkable heritage while embracing contemporary elegance.
Served in Reign Restaurant on the sixth floor, where Manchester unfolds beyond our iconic arched windows, every detail has been thoughtfully considered. Art Deco interiors, sweeping skyline views and impeccable service create a setting designed for lingering moments and memorable occasions.
Expect the classics, beautifully reimagined. Delicately prepared finger sandwiches, freshly baked warm scones served with rich clotted cream and preserves, and an elegant selection of handcrafted pâtisserie, each created with seasonal ingredients and exceptional attention to detail. Every element is accompanied by a carefully curated selection of fine teas, creating a truly refined afternoon experience.
Whether choosing the signature Lutyens Afternoon Tea, a thoughtfully curated Vegetarian or Vegan selection, or the Savoury Afternoon Tea for those who prefer an alternative take on tradition, each menu has been crafted with the same commitment to quality, creativity and impeccable presentation.
The experience extends beyond afternoon tea. Guests are invited to continue their afternoon at Reserve Rooftop Bar, where expertly crafted cocktails, panoramic city views and three outdoor terraces provide the perfect setting to linger a little longer.
