To celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June and throughout summer 2022, Hotel Café Royal is offering guests staying in the opulent Royal Suite the opportunity to experience a uniquely majestic day, including a private visit to see the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London.
Although the experience is available throughout the summer, guests staying in the Royal Suite on the weekend of June 4th will be able visit the Tower on the evening of June 4th or 5th as part of the 'Crown Jewels and Royal Coronation Regalia' experience, an extraordinarily rare chance to be inside a Royal palace and World Heritage site on the days of the Platinum Jubilee.
Those guests opting for the Crown Jewels and Royal Coronation Regalia experience will be driven to the Tower in a Daimler which once belonged to the Queen Mother, arriving in the evening, when the tower is closed to the public, for a private tour. Once inside the Tower, guests will be taken on an exclusive tour of the grounds, led by one of the Queen’s Beefeaters, guards of the Tower, followed by a Champagne reception and private viewing of the Crown Jewels and the Royal Collection at the Jewel House. Treasures on display include the largest diamond in the world, the 17th century solid gold St Edward’s Crown and Sovereign’s Orb, used during coronations, and the 20th century Imperial State Crown, which is set with 2,868 diamonds, 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds, 269 pearls and four rubies.
Hotel Café Royal’s Royal Suite is the ultimate in space, service and luxury in the heart of London. Designed to feel like a private residence, the two-bedroom suite is set out over 302sqm with large windows overlooking iconic Regent Street. The Royal Suite showcases Hotel Café Royal’s signature aesthetic: modern design with historic detail, featuring golden hued walls, beautifully gilded filigree plasterwork, comfortable lounge seating and large Siena marble dining tables, with a separate butler’s entrance and three Carrara marble bathrooms.
In addition to this Royal Suite option of ultimate luxury and exclusivity, guests staying in any room category at Hotel Café Royal can also experience a facet of Royal life through the 'Royal Jewels Afternoon Tea' experience. Also available throughout the summer this package includes a visit to an Iconic Royal Warrant-holding jewelers in Mayfair to see a display of Royal tiaras and fine jewels, with a Champagne reception in the jeweler’s elegant private salon. Following this fascinating opportunity, guests will be chauffeur-driven back to Hotel Cafe Royal for an award-winning afternoon tea, taking in the room’s stunningly ornate Louis XVI detailing while being taught the etiquette of tea taking, along with more Champagne, and finally early-evening cocktails in the sumptuous Green Bar.
Just minutes away from the Royal parklands of Green Park and Buckingham Palace, Hotel Café Royal is the perfect location from which to explore the cultural highlights of London’s Jubilee and summer season.
