The Orangery at Number Sixteen is the restaurant within Number Sixteen Hotel at 16 Sumner Place in South Kensington. The light filled room opens towards a secluded private garden, creating a calm setting that feels removed from the busy museum district nearby.

Lunch and dinner menus use seasonal ingredients in polished but approachable dishes. The selection changes to reflect available produce and offers a measured restaurant experience for hotel guests and outside visitors, with vegetarian and vegan requirements accommodated through dedicated choices.

Afternoon tea is an important part of the offering, bringing together savouries, scones and sweet items with a choice of tea. It suits a leisurely afternoon in the garden or Orangery and gives diners a more intimate alternative to the larger hotel tea rooms elsewhere in central London.

Wine and other drinks accompany meals, while the elegant residential surroundings make the restaurant particularly suited to quiet conversations and special occasions. The Orangery’s strongest qualities are its tranquil atmosphere, attentive service and close connection to the hotel garden.

Address: Number Sixteen Hotel, 16 Sumner Place, South Kensington, London SW7 3EG, England
