High Fashion Meets High Tea at The Merrion ‘Prêt-à-Portea’ Afternoon Tea

Despite its historic origins, being built in the 1760s and the birth place of the first Duke of Wellington, five star The Merrion Hotel can’t be accused of not keeping up with modern trends. From Saturday, 28th January to Sunday, 5th February 2017, The Merrion’s Drawing Rooms will play host to the The Berkeley‘s legendary fashion afternoon tea, Prêt-à-Portea.

Running since 2006 at the world renowned London hotel in Knightsbridge, Prêt-à-Portea remains the original fashionista afternoon tea featuring key fashion styles from the world’s leading designers.
