Groupon on 'The Rafayel'

With a commanding view of London and the river, Battersea's bank-side Hotel Rafayel is a five star eco-friendly masterpiece. Without compromising on decadence or customer experience, the steel, glass and timber building incorporates state-of-the-art LED lighting technology, air conditioning and rainwater harvesting, shrinking carbon shoe sizes by 20%. The Hotel's Banyan on the Thames restaurant, besides offering exquisite river views and an alfresco terrace for fair weather dining, has been awarded the prestigious Toptable gold award for achieving the fastest ever ascendency to culinary fame.

Throw an epicurean party for all the senses with a three course Italian buffet for two. Appetites can be filled and taste buds tickled with an array of Mediterranean delights, while the live jazz performance from Michael Roberts in the ambient Nirvana lounge will deliver aural pleasure while provide a fitting accompaniment to the awe-inspiring riverside views.

Reviews

Just over a year after opening the Banyan on Thames restaurant was awarded the prestigious TopTable Gold Award as a result of exceptionally positive feedback from customers. Although afternoon tea at the restaurant has yet to be reviewed, the venue itself has been featured in national press such as The Daily Mail and prominent entertainment guide Time Out. Diners have particularly enjoyed the spectacular views over the Thames, both from inside the restaurant and on the terrace.

the restaurant has cornered quite a nifty place overlooking the river where the view for the diners is superb. The atmosphere is warm and friendly and the service was efficient. Banyan will be our haunt on every visit to London. Highly highly recommended to all.
