1 WINTER FESTIVITIES 2017/2018

2 Winter Festivities in London WELCOME With its lights and decorations, London is a magical place at Christmas. However, it s not just for the 25th December that the capital is lit up for winter. During Halloween, prepare for revelers and outlandish costumes. Bonfire Night is a family affair as fireworks light up the city, while our American cousins wholesome celebration of Thanksgiving is a firm fixture on the calendar. Then it s all about the lead-up to the main event, as the party season gets into full swing and the city streets are abuzz with communal ice rinks and winter markets. The fun doesn t stop on Boxing Day. Sparkling parties abound on New Year s Eve; followed by the poetic sophistication of Burns Night; while Chinese New Year sees London s Chinatown play host to an all-consuming parade and extravagant feasts. London is a truly cosmopolitan city, and that multi-cultural vibe is celebrated throughout the turn of the year. CHRISTMAS LIGHTS SANTA S GROTTO AT ZSL LONDON ZOO CHRISTMAS LIGHTS CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

3 WELCOME TO THE MARYLEBONE Let the festivities commence! Allow me to welcome you to one of London s most vibrant neighbourhoods. Marylebone s identity, with its creative streak and eclectic collection of independent businesses, gives rise to its famous village feel. I find winter is the most convivial time of year, when the streets around the hotel are alive with a host of celebrations. This season, we invite you to join us at The Marylebone for your own festivities, whether it be a special dinner at 108 Brasserie, or a more private celebration in our contemporary Marylebone Rooms, its chic spaces perfect for gatherings large and small; or perhaps you d prefer a soirée with a few friends overlooking London from the sanctuary of one of our stunning Terrace Suites. Whatever your reason for celebrating, from Thanksgiving to New Year and beyond, we invite you to discover The Marylebone and our eponymous neighbourhood this festive season. Garreth Walsh General Manager

4 CELEBRATE YOUR WAY Dine in Style The chic 108 Brasserie, secretly located at the back of the hotel looking out onto the cobbles of Marylebone Lane, sets the scene for a warm, inviting dining venue. Along with the intimate, mirrored 108 Bar and its red studded stools, you could be in a Parisian café. Combine 108 Bar with 108 Brasserie for a private lunch or dinner, where the service is relaxed yet intuitive, the menu classic yet refined. 108 Pantry delivers a more informal, café society vibe. Its bright, modern decor mixes vintage charm with a chic palette of contemporary colours played out in the red leather chairs and mustard sofas. This intrinsic warmth makes it an ideal venue for festive gatherings and private dinners. 108brasserie.com

5 CELEBRATE YOUR WAY The Marylebone Rooms The recently launched event spaces at The Marylebone are some of the most awe-inspiring you ll find in the heart of London. New indoor and outdoor spaces, filled with natural light, modern artwork and colourful furnishings, are miles away from the formal meeting rooms more associated with city hotels. This winter, why not host your very own festive gathering in one of the private event spaces of the beautiful Marylebone Rooms. The Long Room features sofas and banquettes in accent colours; perfect for a chic lunch or dinner for up to 40 guests. The Blue Room offers a vibrant aesthetic, with bright sofas and muted wooden floors, this room is ideal for lunch or dinner parties for up to 46 guests. Meanwhile the dark oak panelling, soft green accents and fireplace of The Library provides an intimate environment for up to 36 guests seated. The unique space of The Courtyard offers a rare fusion of tranquillity and vibrancy in the middle of the city. A 73 sqm terrace surrounded by a garden wall, with a retractable roof and open fireplace, this is the epitome of the outside-inside fashion. Combined with The Blue Room and The Library, the space can accommodate up to 150 guests standing or 82 guests seated. Everyone who attended the party said it was by far the best event we have held and couldn t speak highly enough of the venue, the staff, the food and drinks. Tripadvisor review (Dec 2016) Our latest space to open on the ground floor will be able to host larger receptions of up to 250 quests standing, perfect for larger festive celebrations.
