Splashing out for Christmas
For the more extravagant festive celebration, Morgans Hotel will be holding
a gourmet Christmas dinner on December 10. Although it’s on the steeper
side of the Christmas budget, the evening does include a fantastic five-course
meal and five wines. Or for the slightly cheaper option, guests can enjoy the
sophisticated surroundings at the Christmas dinner evenings. The Dragon
Hotel also offers the chance to wine and dine in style this festive season.
Guests can enjoy the three-course party menu and entertainment from the
house DJ, or alternatively opt for a cabaret Christmas party with a choice from
Abba, comedians Colin Price and Lenny Dee, and many others.
