Bridget’s back! Mad About the Boy, the latest instalment of the much-loved Bridget Jones franchise, arrives in cinemas on 13th February – just in time for Valentine’s Day. Whether you’re a singleton, a smug married, or somewhere in between, The Rubens at the Palace is offering the ultimate Bridget Jones experience – a dreamy London adventure inspired by everyone’s favourite diary-keeping heroine.
Running from 13th to 27th February, this fabulous package whisks you off to Borough Market with Chef Ben Kelliher, where you’ll handpick the freshest seasonal ingredients for a special Bridget-inspired lunch. Your foodie adventure begins bright and early with a guided exploration of the market, including a stop at Bridget’s iconic flat. By 1:30pm, you’ll be back at The Rubens for an indulgent lunch featuring your hand-selected produce, all paired with a crisp glass of chardonnay (because, let’s be honest, it’s what Bridget would expect).
The experience also includes a luxurious one-night stay in The Master Suite, where you’ll find a diary waiting – the perfect place to jot down your own musings, romantic or otherwise. Then, it’s off to Curzon Victoria to catch Mad About the Boy, before returning for a warm welcome from two very important guests: Ben & Jerry. Yes, an indulgent tub of ice cream is included, best enjoyed either at The New York Bar or in your cosy pyjamas, Bridget-style.
Set in the royal heart of London on Buckingham Palace Road, The Rubens at the Palace is a five-star gem just a short stroll from Victoria Station. As part of The Red Carnation Hotel Collection, it blends traditional grandeur with impeccable service, thanks to an attentive team who go above and beyond for every guest. Behind its iconic red-and-white façade, you’ll find 161 elegantly designed rooms and suites, each exuding regal charm with fabric-covered walls, velvet tapestries, and sparkling Murano chandeliers. From the moment you’re greeted by liveried doormen to check-in with the hotel’s warm and welcoming receptionists, every detail is designed to make your stay truly special.
Dining is just as exquisite, whether it’s refined British cuisine at The English Grill or a leisurely Afternoon Tea at The Palace Lounge, overlooking the Royal Mews. This Valentine’s Day, The Rubens provides the perfect setting for romance—whether it’s an intimate dinner, a decadent tea, or an indulgent overnight escape fit for royalty (or in this case Bridget Jones).
Priced from £3,000 for two, this exclusive experience is call-to-book only at +44 207 834 6600. Now, the only question is – who will be your Mark Darcy?
