A VERY DICKENSIAN CHRISTMAS AT THE COURTHOUSE DOUBLETREE BY HILTON


London, England, November, 2009; Immerse yourself in a charming Dickensian Christmas experience this year and stay at the original magistrate’s court where Charles Dickens once worked as a court reporter! The Courthouse Doubletree by Hilton has launched a bespoke ‘Dickensian Christmas Carol’ accommodation and dining package to welcome festive season shoppers and visitors to the capital as the Christmas lights illuminate the streets.

Playing on the property’s historical link with the famous writer, the ‘Dickensian Christmas Carol’ package starts from £330 including VAT, and includes overnight accommodation in a queen or twin room with full English breakfast, a ‘Dickens Delight’ Christmas cocktail in The Bar’s VIP cells, a 4-course festive fusion menu in Michelin-recommended Silk restaurant, Liberty silver chocolate pennies and Christmas in-room amenities of fruit mince pies, Christmas cake. Valid from November 3, 2009 until January 10, 2010, subject to availability. Black-out dates may apply.

“It’s a little known fact that the Courthouse Doubletree by Hilton was once the workplace of Charles Dickens and I’m sure he gained inspiration for some of his characters within these very walls. The Dickensian Christmas Carol package offers a unique opportunity to experience a true slice of British literature history along with all the five-star festive trimmings,” said Raphael Herzog, General Manager, Courthouse Doubletree by Hilton.

The Courthouse Doubletree by Hilton’s fascinating historical background, modern design and central location just off Regent Street, make the ideal base for Christmas shopping excursions and weekends visiting the city sights. Take a step back in time and dine in Silk, the location of the former courtroom where Mr. Dickens once scribbled his reports on the crimes and misdemeanors of the Victorian society, or enjoy a signature Dickens Delight cocktail in your own private prison cell, where the holding block once stood.

With the iconic Liberty department store just opposite the hotel, the quintessential London shopping experience is only moments away and guests preparing for an evening out during the winter party season can avail of complimentary makeovers at the Le Métier de Beauté counter or 15% discount off male grooming services at Murdock barbers, as part of the Dickensian Christmas Carol package, courtesy of Liberty.

After a day of hitting the shops and pounding the pavements, the hotels in-house Sanook Spa offers a welcome retreat in which to warm-up in the heated swimming pool and sauna or indulge in a range of top spa and beauty treatments from Dermalogica and Karin Herzog, not quite inspired by the great scribe himself, but a necessary indulgence all the same.
