Their Royal Highnesses Prince George and Princess Charlotte of Cambridge are guaranteed not to miss out on an awesome stay at the new LEGOLAND® Castle Hotel, as the Resort issues an official invitation to the royal siblings ahead of bookings opening tomorrow (19 October 2016). 

The LEGOLAND® Windsor Resort has formally invited the mini monarchs and their parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, to lend their royal seal of approval by staying at the premium castle-themed family hotel at their earliest convenience, once it opens its doors on 1 July 2017.  

Lauren Moss, Senior PR Manager at the LEGOLAND Windsor Resort said: “If Prince George and Princess Charlotte fancy a change from Gan-Gan's nearby Windsor Castle, the new LEGOLAND Castle Hotel is ready and waiting to roll out the royal red carpet for them. We're sure their great grandmother is the perfect hostess, but we didn't want them to miss out on the fun and adventure just down the road!

“And it is not just regal youngsters who should be getting excited as the rooms go on sale. All who stay will enter an enchanting world of brave knights and princesses, wily wizards and jolly jesters for an experience they will never forget – we can't wait to welcome them in when we open our doors in July next year.”

In preparation for a royal reply, LEGOLAND Model Makers are on standby to construct a range of princely particulars to make the siblings feel at home in the courtly chamber. From a little chair made of LEGO® for Princess Charlotte's bear to a LEGO replica of Prince George's rocking horse – his favourite gift from President Obama - to ensure home comforts for the pair as they enjoy their magical stay.

Situated right on the edge of the theme park next to the existing LEGOLAND Windsor Resort Hotel, the new Castle Hotel will have 61 magical rooms. Families can choose between two imaginatively themed room types - Knights and Wizards – and enjoy the leisure and entertainment facilities at the LEGOLAND Windsor Resort Hotel plus special benefits including early entry to the park, free refillable drink vessels, unique LEGO gifts and collectables.  

Colourful LEGO touches and models large and small will feature throughout from the hotel's astonishing lobby dominated by a giant LEGO Wizard unleashing LEGO magic from his wand, to the à la carte Tournament Tavern Restaurant, indoor Jester's Play area and outdoor Playground.  

The noble mini majesties and other young fans will be able to make their mark on the new grounds by designing a LEGO model to take a starring place in the new enchanted hotel. All they have to do is submit a drawing or photo of what the model should be and the winning design will be brought to life in a LEGO model up to 6ft in size. Open to children aged 2-16; the winner will be invited to put the final brick in their model and, with their family, will be one of the first to stay at the new hotel in July. 

Prices are from £572 for a family room (2 adults /2 children) including breakfast, park tickets for two days plus special exclusive benefits.
