Christmas at Windsor Castle - Holiday Inn Heathrow

Christmas at Windsor Castle

 

Lovers of The Crown can wrap themselves in royalty as this town is about as regal as it gets,  an official residence for over 40 monarchs.

 

Christmas is an especially magical time of year to visit, when the State Apartments are adorned with glittering decorations, trees and lights to celebrate the festive season.

In St George’s Hall, the largest room in the Castle, a towering, 20-foot-high Nordmann fir tree grown in Windsor Great Park will be decked with over three thousand sparkling lights and shimmering green and gold ornaments, while dramatic garlands will adorn the room’s balconies beneath the famous vaulted ceiling.

 

In the Crimson Drawing Room, one of the ornate Semi-State Rooms only open during the winter months, the rich red silk walls and gilded details will provide a sumptuous backdrop for another dazzling, 16-foot-high Christmas tree.

 

Inside the miniature world of Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House, visitors will discover a 45cm tall Christmas tree and festive garlands, complete with ornaments made from glass beads repurposed from vintage necklaces, and tiny candles made with real candle wax.

The Undercroft Café, located in the oldest part of the Castle, will serve a special seasonal menu, perfect for warming up after a stroll around the Castle precincts.

Sub note: ( For convenience and value, your break includes a simple evening meal as part of your hotel stay. The hotel's evening meal is designed to cater for a larger group of people together at the same time, so you may find that the choices are more basic and limited. We recognise that it may not always meet the expectations of those that would prefer a superior dining experience from an extensive menu, and we recommend that you bear this in mind when booking this break. Most hotels have alternative options via a bar and or room service menu to purchase at your own expense, should the inclusive evening meal not meet your own personal preference)
