Discover your perfect UK long bank holiday weekend getaway 

Millions of people across the UK are coming together this June to celebrate Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and mark Queen Elizabeth II’s momentous 70-year reign. Events have been planned up and down the country, taking place across the special four-day UK bank holiday weekend. These festivities are a great reason for any last-minute bookers to make the most of the long summer weekend and plan a getaway with Hyatt.

Here’s a taste of how some of Hyatt’s UK hotels and their communities are uniting to celebrate the once-in-a-lifetime anniversary:

GREAT SCOTLAND YARD, IN THE UNBOUND COLLECTION BY HYATT  

Whilst London will be central to many official celebrations, there’s no need to be standing outside Buckingham Palace for the entire weekend. There’s a multi-sensory Jubilee Afternoon Tea at Great Scotland Yard Hotel. Created by the hotel’s Head Pastry Chef, Verónica Garrido Martínez, this exquisite afternoon tea experience has been created in partnership with the iconic perfumery, Floris London, the only appointed perfumer to Her Majesty The Queen. Dine on an assortment of seasonal teacakes and delicate pastries including ‘Oat, Honey and Apricot Primrose Hat’, ‘Violet Battenberg’ and ‘Imperial State Crown Lime Cookie’ – inspired by the flora of Her Majesty’s beautiful gardens, which surround her UK residences.

Great Scotland Yard In the Unbound Collection by Hyatt is situated within an 1820’s Grade II listed building, putting guests right at the heart of Westminster’s phenomenal history. The hotel is surrounded by iconic attractions all within walking distance, including Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and the London Eye.

HYATT REGENCY LONDON – THE CHURCHILL

Hyatt Regency London – The Churchill is welcoming guests to a unique photography exhibition that celebrates the special relationship between the young Queen Elizabeth II and Sir Winston Churchill. The Churchill and the Crown exhibition, which has been created by the team at National Trust’s Chartwell, Winston Churchill’s former home, will take up its exclusive London residency for the first time ever at Hyatt Regency London – The Churchill. For those visiting the exhibition, guests can also raise a glass to the Queen and her Jubilee with a sumptuous Champagne afternoon tea in The Montagu Kitchen, or with an evening cocktail in the fitting surroundings of The Churchill Bar and Terrace.
