When Turnberry first opened in 1906, the heart of this renowned hotel was the elegant tea lounge. It was here that the noted guests, freshly disembarked from the train at the hotel's own station, would savour afternoon tea while their servants were preparing their room.

The railway station may be long gone but we are delighted to be reviving this fine tradition more than a hundred years later. Now, as then, The Grand Tea Lounge serves lunch and a truly memorable afternoon tea in an atmosphere of relaxed refinement. Let our tea sommeliers guide you through a choice of thirty or so teas, all brewed to order using a traditional samovar. Created in collaboration with Twinings, The Grand Tea Lounge also has a choice of champagne by the glass and a light menu of finger sandwiches and pastries.

We believe you will find, as did those discerning Edwardians, that there is no finer afternoon tea in the country.

The Grand Tea lounge is a grade A member of the Tea Guild, a prestigious and unique organisation that requires affiliates to brew and serve tea in accordance with the United Kingdom Tea Council.

We welcome everyone to experience the bars and cuisine at Turnberry, including guests not staying at the hotel.
