Occupying an exclusive area of the rooftop, The Tasting Room cigar lounge offers an elegant and relaxed space for the enjoyment of finely curated cigars. The walk-in humidor, along with a collection of rare top-shelf whiskies, is overseen by Master of Havana Cigars Manu Harit. Patrons can also rent private climate-controlled lockers for storing their cigar purchases.

Like the adjacent Brooklands restaurant and bar – with which it shares a dedicated elevator – The Tasting Room takes design inspiration from the world of fine motorcars. Its mahogany-panelled sitting room incorporates design elements of The Delage 155B, a luxury French race car that won the first Grand Prix at Brooklands in 1926. The lounge and attached terrace also afford truly breath-taking panoramic views over Hyde Park and the surrounding cityscape.
