Join us at The Resident for this royal celebration as we welcome a new king.
This May join us for the event of the century, as we crown a new Monarch for the first time in 70 years. As London takes centre stage for the Coronation, there is still a little time to plan your visit and be a part of living history.
Relax in one of our opulent rooms, with a number of our hotels located just moments from the heart of the action. Make yourself at home at The Resident Victoria for the bank holiday weekend, taking pride in the fact you share a neighbourhood with the new King himself! Whether you would prefer to stay in historic Kensington or in our centrally located neighbourhoods Soho and Covent Garden, each of our hotels is just a short walk from the royal procession.
The official festivities are expected to take place from the 6th of May 2023, beginning with an extravagant procession through Pall Mall featuring numerous military regiments from around the Commonwealth as well as the King and Queen Consort.
While the final timings for the day of the Coronation are yet to be announced by Buckingham Palace, the event is expected to follow Royal tradition and take place in the late morning at Westminster Abbey, with crowds awaiting the celebrations for several hours leading up to the big day.
Striking a carefully considered balance between the legacy and tradition of the British Monarchy and modern society, the service led by the Archbishop of Canterbury, will pay tribute to the King’s vision for the UK. Shortly after being crowned, King Charles III will exit Westminster Abbey, accompanied by other members of the Royal Family to greet his well-wishers in a lavish parade. The excitement of the day will reach a fever-pitch as our new ruler greets his nation from Buckingham Palace’s balcony officially for the first time.
Book NowThe celebrations continue in the days following the Coronation, with a special Concert taking place at Windsor Castle on the 7th of May, featuring a series of international musicians and beloved British stars.
The evening will conclude with an elaborate light and drone display, broadcast from a range of cities and landmarks around the United Kingdom, paying tribute to the legacy of His Majesty the King.
Neighbourhoods across the country are set to stage their very own Coronation street parties, sharing homemade food, decorations and festivities to welcome in a new historical era while raising money for a British charity, The Big Lunch.
Following a patriotic Coronation weekend, His Majesty has requested we take a little time to give back to our country. To mark King Charles III’s long history of public service, Buckingham Palace has collaborated with The Scouts to launch ‘The Big Help Out’, a day devoted to supporting local charity groups, in the hope of connecting members of the public to local volunteering opportunities.
