WINTER QUIZ
The festive season in numbers
The most wonderful time of the year has arrived once more at Dorchester Collection’s ten hotels. This festive season looks set to be more magical than ever with special events, dining experiences and holiday treats transforming each hotel during December to make every stay extra merry. There will be Yuletide afternoon teas and indulgent Christmas Eve dinners, cookie decorating classes and artist-designed Christmas trees, specially crafted festive cocktails and starlit movie nights. Every hotel will celebrate in its own unique way, from The Beverly Hills Hotel counting down with its much-anticipated 12 Days of Soufflés to Hôtel Plaza Athénée’s renowned illuminated ice rink complete with its own alpine chalet for post-skating Champagne.
None of these festivities would be possible without our colleagues’ hard work and dedication year-round, which means that so many of our guests choose to celebrate with their friends and families in one of our hotels over the holiday period. The questions below reflect just some of the huge efforts that go into making the festive season so enchanting for so many, and might even earn you an extra Christmas gift this year, too. Take part in this quiz for the chance to win a lunch for two, a F&B voucher amounting to £200 (after discount) or equivalent at your chosen Dorchester Collection hotel.
