Alongside the big blockbusters in the form of IRON MAN 3 and STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS, there’s also the upcoming and epic-looking THE GREAT GATSBY that opens in the UK on May 16th. London has taken on the 1920s theme with aplomb and we’re also excited to announce that the Radisson Blu Edwardian, Bloomsbury Street is inviting you to enjoy Jay Gatsby’s parties, fast cars and mint juleps.
The 4-star hotel in the heart of literary London has teamed up with publisher Pan Macmillan to bring its guests a classic celebrating the much anticipated movie premiere of the year. Guests will be able to pick up a complimentary copy of the ‘official film edition’ of The Great Gatsby during their stay, if you haven’t read the book yet, a little synopsis:
Jay Gatsby’s parties are legendary. Full of the rich and the beautiful, his mansion is the place to drink and dance. But, underneath this air of opulence, lies an obsessive desire for the one thing he really wants but can never have.
Set in the heart of Bloomsbury – an area which was home to literary legends Virginia Woolf and E.M Forster – the Radisson Blu Edwardian, Bloomsbury Street Hotel is the first hotel to host its very own book club. Every month guests are invited to enjoy the hotel’s recommended book and take away a complimentary copy to enjoy at their leisure and this hotel is the perfect place to unwind and break free from city stresses. Whether you’re looking for a cultural day out to the British Museum, a shopping spree around London’s West End, or a trip down to Theatre Land to watch the latest musical, this 4 Star hotel in London has something to offer everyone.
THE GREAT GATSBY is set in the roaring 1920s, and a tragic love story which shows readers the dangers of believing what you see. It stars a stunning cast in the form of Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire, with direction from Baz Luhrmann, previously famed for unique versions of ROMEO + JULIET, plus STRICTLY BALLROOM and 2001’s MOULIN ROUGE!
Book yourself into one of the Radisson Blu Edwardian, Bloomsbury Street’s stunning suites (complete with free-standing bathtub) for a bit of added luxury or, if you fancy catching up with friends, why not dine at the hotel’s sumptuous restaurant?
