The Forbury Hotel opened in 2008 as Reading's first and only five-star, built into a row of townhouses overlooking Forbury Gardens. Afternoon tea is served in Cerise, the hotel's champagne restaurant, with the same lion and gardens outside the window that you've probably already walked past without going in.
