The Stafford London's Royal Wedding Viewing Party
Don't have an invitation to the Royal Wedding this April, but still want to celebrate along with Prince William and Kate? The five-star Stafford London by Kempinski hotel is staging a Royal Wedding viewing party on April 29 which might be the next best thing. Located just steps from Buckingham Palace, and rumored to be frequented by the Royal Family themselves, the luxe hotel will be celebrating the momentous occasion with a party in its outdoor courtyard complete with a viewing screen broadcasting the momentous event, accompanied by classic British cocktails and cuisine. Tickets for the Royal Wedding viewing party are £85 per person and include all food and beverage. Reservations are required – to purchase a ticket call the hotel directly at +44 20 7493 0111 or email rsvp.london@.kempinski.com.
Tucked away in the heart of St. James's Place, The Stafford London by Kempinski radiates an air of Englishness, from the 380-year-old working wine cellars to the restored Carriage House and contemporary Stafford Mews suites. The building became The Stafford Hotel in 1912 but elements of it are far older; the wine cellars are thought to have once been underground passages to the Royal palace, while the carriage house section of the hotel used to be the stables for the Royals' horses before it was converted into part of the building. If you wish to stay over for the Wedding party, room rates begin at about $530 per night while the luxe penthouse suite commands about $2,900 a night.
