This Christmas, The Goring (best known as the hotel where Kate Middleton styed the night before the Royal Wedding) and iconic institution the English National Ballet, will create a special night inviting guests to stay at the only family owned and run five star luxury hotel in London (for 105 years) to enjoy the mesmerizing Nutcracker ballet like Royalty.

From Dec 11 – Jan 4, guests staying at The Goring can enjoy the quintessential Christmas ballet from a private box, but the magic begins even before the curtain rises, with the once in a lifetime opportunity to meet one of English National Ballet’s star dancers – a thrilling experience for prima-ballerinas in training! Or for those with an interest in backstage workings, an exclusive tour can be arranged to complete the experience.

After the show, continue the Christmas celebrations with a stay in a Belgravia suite, resplendent with twinkling lights and festive decorations; guests can enjoy a mulled wine by the fire, a crisp walk around the garden or a menu of classic English winter dishes at the hotel’s restaurant, The Dining Room.  A one-night stay in a Belgravia Suite at The Goring with breakfast and two tickets in a price box to the Nutcracker start from $2,800 per suite.
