Celebrate the Coronation in style with DUKES London’s Royal Connoisseur Experience Package
The Royal Connoisseur Experience package embodies the flair and confidence of King Charles III on his Coronation. It shines a light on St James’s - a uniquely aristocratic neighbourhood favoured by royalty and society’s elite, containing the most senior royal palace, the expansive lawns of Green Park and fine shopping embodied by historic Hatchard’s, Fortnum & Mason, the Burlington Arcade and the outlets of some of the finest British brands in the capital.
Guests at DUKES London – an Edwardian country house in the heart of the Mayfair St James’s – have included the composer Edward Elgar, the author Ian Fleming and multiple members of the British royal family. There is even a rumoured ‘secret tunnel’ leading from DUKES bar to nearby St James’s Palace. In the spirit of this heritage, a key element of the hotel’s Royal Connoisseur Experience package is by-appointment-only access to some of the area’s elite designers and merchants, including:
- - Lock & Co Hatters - an exclusive session, including a tour of the Heritage Room and a head measuring experience using Conformateur first used in the 1850s
- - Truefitt & Hill - a traditional hot towel wet shave or haircut, and products gifted from its new collection
- - Anderson & Sheppard – a commemorative Coronation Pocket Square from the Savile Row tailors and private consultation
- - Floris – an Oud & Cashmere scented candle and a 20% voucher
- - Berry Bros & Rudd - £20 Enomatic card and a bottle of finest The King’s Ginger Liqueur
