A ROYAL WEDDING... is about as pomp-tastic and full of festive-a-tude as an event can get, but finding your own way to the chapel in the spotlight? That's not always in the cards, if you weren't on the invitation list. Still, enjoying that aforementioned festiveness from afar, whether you're buying a cupcake that's wearing a crown or organizing a viewing party from home, is absolutely a possibility. And if you're pip-pip-ing and cheerio'd over the upcoming nuptials of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle happening on Saturday, May 19, there's another way to get into the glamour of the moment: A stay at the newly renovated White Swan Inn in San Francisco. As the name suggests, the 26-room inn, which is located in Nob Hill, does possess an "authentically British" vibe, bringing a bit of Great Britain to the Golden State. And more than a bit of that royal excitement is present in the...
SPARKLE LIKE MARKLE... package, which is available now through Sunday, May 20 at the White Swan. For sure, there is a one-night stay included, and you can bet breakfast in the courtyard is on the tum-tempting roster. (You can go for the sunny dining room, if you're more of an indoorist when it comes to the first meal of the day.) "Two commemorative wedding mugs" shall be yours, and two mugs bearing the Union Jack, too, as well as Cadbury "Celebration" chocolates. Ms. Markle's favorite wine, Tignanello, will also be part of the package, a lovely addition for some celebratory sipping/toasting. Other sweet details dotting the property during this merry May? English breakfast tea, lemon elderflower cake (the chosen flavor of the couple's wedding cake), and viewing of the wedding, in the inn's parlor, on May 19.
FOR ALL OF THE DIVINE DETAILS, visit the White Swan Inn's site now. As for donning your wedding outfit, the posh clothing you might wear to Windsor Castle? You still can, as you swan inside this Brit-beautiful property for your oh-so-royal getaway.
