London's Connaught Introduces Style Icon Weekends Inspired by Grace Kelly
The iconic landmark hotel used to be her London home and many of the staff vividly remember her extraordinary presence. In The Connaught's elegant bedrooms, guests can dream away with legendary movies starring Grace Kelly such as To Catch a Thief, High Society and Rear Window. Additionally, a specially created commemorative exhibition book and tickets for The V&A will await guests' arrival. The award-winning Connaught Bar has devised three bespoke cocktails inspired by different stages of her life including 'Hollywood Star', 'Beloved Princess' and 'Royal Bride'. For the finishing touch, The Connaught's renowned butlers will arrange private visits to Balenciaga, conveniently located around the corner on fashionable Mount Street, which was an absolute favourite of Grace Kelly.

"I fondly remember escorting Grace Kelly to her favourite suite as she returned to her London home," commented Anthony Lee, General Manager of The Connaught. "Grace Kelly Weekends will truly bring to life the glamour of this modern-day princess and fashion icon."
