Next year will be a big one for London; aside from the Summer Olympics, there’s the the Queen’s Jubilee, whose official anniversary will be celebrated June 2-5, 2011, with a large variety of events celebrating Queen Elizabeth’s 60 years of reign.
Buckingham Palace is already busy coordinating the Queen’s program for the Diamond Jubilee and details can be found at direct.gov.uk/diamondjubilee as they are added on.
We say it's a great opportunity for those of you who fell in love with the U.K. all over again after watching the great BBC coverage of the Royal Wedding earlier this year.
Hotels are already getting in on the Jubilee act, including the five-star Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London.
Pricing for a Jubilee package doesn’t come cheap; in fact, it’s set at more than $10,000 per person. It does, however, include VIP treatment throughout the entire actual Jubilee celebration, including great seating on The HMS Belfast to view the
Diamond Jubilee River Pageant and as well on Carlton Terrace to watch the royal procession to and from Buckingham Palace. A full schedule of other luxury events is also included.
The hotel is well situated as a venue from which to enjoy the events; it has the only private Royal Entrance from Hyde Park, which can also be used by guests, with permission. If you tire of all the festivities, you can go shopping in Knightsbridge, just steps away.
The Diamond Jubilee Tour package is priced from $10,138 for one person and $17,594 for two people sharing the same accommodation. Valid from June 2-6, 2012 only, inclusive of Full English Breakfast, exclusive of VAT at 20% and 5% discretionary service charge, subject to availability. Reservations can be made by contacting the hotel directly on +44 (0) 207 201 3618 or at jsandhu@mohg.com or through the direct on-line reservations service, www.mandarinoriental.com/london.
