Dorchester Collection gets ready for Easter
The Dorchester Collection has a portfolio of ten luxury hotels located throughout Europe and the USA. This Easter, the group is running a campaign for hotel guests to win a complimentary Easter stay.
Over Easter, each of the ten hotels will have one golden egg hidden in one of the rooms or suites. A lucky guest who books the hotel’s Easter package and who discovers the egg upon arrival, will have their charges waived for the Easter package booked. The golden egg opportunity will be available from 3 – 6 April only. Find out more at their website.
The Active Age shares about the Easter package at two Dorchester Collection hotels.
In London, guests at Coworth Park can look forward to an ideal Easter weekend destination offering luxury accommodation for two, Easter eggs and a fun-packed, chocolate-filled calendar of activities for kids. Prices start from £325 for a Stable Room.

Easter meals prepared straight from the gourmet kitchens of Coworth Park are served for lunch. Each afternoon, a different learning activity is incorporated into the programme such as polo lessons and carriage-driving. Easter treasure hunts on horseback and obstacle courses finish off the day at 4pm. Pony Camp is priced at £400 per child for a three day Pony Camp.
