The Ultimate Backdoor to London’s Sold-Out Cultural Event of the Century

​If you have tried to secure tickets to see the Bayeux Tapestry at the British Museum, you have likely met the "Sold Out" banner.

In a historic agreement, France lent the 70-metre, 900-year-old medieval masterpiece back to English soil for the first time in nearly a millennium. Unsurprisingly, public tickets vanished almost instantly.

However, luxury travelers and history enthusiasts have a golden backdoor pass: One Aldwych, the independent luxury hotel in Covent Garden, has partnered directly with the British Museum to offer guaranteed entry.

Rather than battling online booking queues or checking third-party ticket resellers, booking the Bayeux Tapestry Experience at One Aldwych secures VIP entry to the exhibition alongside a high-end luxury stay in central London.
​What Is Included in the Package?

Guaranteed Entry: Two tickets to The Bayeux Tapestry exhibition at the British Museum.

Overnight Accommodations: A stay for two in one of One Aldwych’s rooms or suites.

Themed Welcome Drink: A bespoke cocktail served in the hotel’s Lobby Bar, specially crafted and inspired by the threads of the Norman Conquest tale.

Full Breakfast: Traditional English breakfast included the following morning.

Luxury Perks: Fully complimentary in-room mini-bar, access to the residents’ Library, and full access to the Health Club and Spa (including the subterranean pool).
