Are you a devoted Royal Family enthusiast? Celebrate the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in Chicago at The Drake and enjoy a month of regal events and special amenities designed to mark the occasion.
Throughout May, the hotel offers a variety of experiences that pamper guests with royal-style hospitality.
The Palm Court
Each Monday evening in May the Palm Court presents film and fondue nights. Classic royal-themed films such as The Princess Diaries and The Queen are screened, and evenings conclude with a comforting cup of hot chocolate.
All month long a royal tea service is available, featuring delicate finger sandwiches and traditional desserts favored by the monarchy. Highlights include chocolate biscuit cake, a dessert associated with royal weddings, along with a selection of fine teas.
Coq D’Or
The cozy Coq D’Or bar will serve a curated Royal Cocktail menu throughout May. Guests can sample drinks inspired by royal preferences, including the Queen’s favored selections, a classic English bitter associated with Prince Philip, and Prince Charles’s signature 50:50 martini.
Wedding Day Luncheon — May 19
On the wedding day, May 19, The Drake will host a special luncheon in its Grand Ballroom. Attendees will enjoy an exclusive screening of the ceremony while dining on a menu inspired by—and once served to—Princess Diana during her 1996 visit to the hotel.
These limited-time offerings provide a refined, celebratory way to mark the royal wedding in an elegant Chicago setting. Whether you prefer a relaxed tea, a festive cocktail, or a formal luncheon, The Drake’s curated events offer a memorable tribute to the occasion.
