Piccadilly’s newest hotel, The Dilly has revealed its festive programme of events over the Christmas period. The Dilly’s location, just a short walk from Fortnum & Mason, Bond Street’s Christmas lights and London’s Christmas markets and exclusive shopping districts as well as the West End’s theatres, makes it the destination for a classically London Christmas getaway with views of Piccadilly’s famous Christmas lights from the balconies.

First opened in 1908 as The Piccadilly Hotel, the iconic London hotel has played host to many show stopping Christmas parties over the years and knows how to put on a good show. It’s first Christmas as new independent hotel The Dilly will be one to remember with guests greeted into the hotel by a 14ft Christmas tree designed by Pulbrook & Gould luxury London florists and on selected dates[1] from 3rd December, there will be traditional Christmas carols by Oriana Choir, raising money for The Dilly’s partner charity, St James’s Church Piccadilly Winter Night Shelter.

In preparation for the festive season, The Dilly will be hosting luxury wreath-making masterclasses in collaboration with Pulbrook & Gould with the first event taking place on the evening of Monday 6th December and bookable via Pulbrook & Gould’s website. The intimate classes will be run by experienced florists and accompanied with a glass of Chapel Down English sparkling wine, London sourced soft drinks and canapés. At the end of the session, all guests will take home their own handmade wreath to proudly display on their own front doors. For Christmas parties, private wreath making classes at The Dilly are also bookable upon request and subject to availability.

The Dilly’s restaurant, Terrace at The Dilly, sits under glass slanting ceilings and is home to the only outdoor terrace overlooking Piccadilly. Guests can dine with the feeling of being outdoors but sheltered from the cold, with Piccadilly’s Christmas lights shining from the street below. This Christmas, The Dilly’s Official Peter Rabbit™ Afternoon Tea brings to life the classic story by London author Beatrix Potter, with a festive twist for children and adults alike. Seven days a week, the festive afternoon tea will feature a selection of savoury and sweet treats finished with an edible snowman made from meringue created by The Dilly’s Head Pastry Chef.

The festive menu on the Terrace will run from 15th November with festive lunch served Monday to Friday, and festive dinner served every day of the week including festive favourites such as Christmas turkey from IMS Smithfields local butchery. Piccadilly Circus, Covent Garden, and Soho are right on The Dilly’s doorstep to continue the Christmas party.
