Visit London’s One Aldwych Hotel until March 2013 and celebrate Somerset House’s stunning Valentino: Master of Couture exhibition in style.
Iconic London landmark Somerset House and luxury hotel One Aldwych are just a stone’s throw away from one other, off the city’s famous Strand. This winter, the two neighbouring venues are teaming up to celebrate Somerset House’s much-anticipated fashion exhibition – Valentino: Master of Couture – with a style inspired travel package like no other.
Available now until Sunday 3 March 2013, the Very Valentino package includes an overnight stay in the contemporary luxury hotel with breakfast and of course, tickets to the exhibition itself. Guests not fortunate enough to indulge in a stylish overnight stay can visit the hotel for a decadent afternoon tea experience before popping across the Strand to view the Somerset House Valentino exhibition.
A must-visit for dedicated fashion fans; the Very Valentino One Aldwych package honours the Somerset House exhibition that showcases the incredible career of Italian couturier, Valentino.
The Valentino: Master of Couture exhibition will play host to over 130 exquisite haute couture designs created by the iconic fashion house, with gowns worn by everyone from Grace Kelly to Sophia Loren, Jackie Onassis to Gwyneth Paltrow.
For tea enthusiasts and style buffs, One Aldwych’s exclusive Very Valentino tea is a must-visit. Taking place in the chic Lobby Bar, the afternoon tea experience includes dainty treats that are as beautiful on the eye as they are tasty. From a mandarin trifle to almond truffles blended with winter spices, cranberry scones to seasonal sandwiches; this afternoon tea is not only stylish but an ideal treat for the festive season.
To make the afternoon that little bit more special, the hotel’s head barman Pedro Paulo has created an accompanying cocktail, inspired of course by the famous dressmaker. The Valentino Red cocktail blends Aperol, Campari, strawberry caviar and champagne to create a contemporary twist on a classic Italian tipple.
If you’re planning a trip to London this festive season or into next year’s spring, this is a must-see for any self-confessed fashion addict.
The Very Valentino package starts from £390 per night for two in an Aldwych Room with breakfast, including VAT, plus two tickets for the Valentino: Master of Couture exhibition at Somerset House.
The Valentino: Master of Couture Afternoon Tea is available daily until Sunday 3 March 2013 in the Lobby Bar between 2pm and 4.30pm. Priced at £55 per person, it includes one ticket for Valentino: Master of Couture at Somerset House.
