The Waldorf, known as The Waldorf Hilton since January 2004, has an illustrious history and rich heritage dating back to its opening in 1908. Set in the heart of London’s theatre land, close to Covent Garden,the hotel has attracted a string of stars from all over the world. Gertrude Lawrence, Sir Thomas Beecham, Elizabeth Taylor, Pavarotti, Pierce Brosnan and Dame Judi Dench are just a handful of show business icons that have stayed at the hotel.

The Waldorf Hilton was initially conceived as a combined theatre, hotel and shops, and today’s Homage Private Lounge used to be the former making room, where Stage Door Johnnies waited for the Gaiety Girls after their performances.

********* Royal Crown Derby has a distinguished history as the preferred supplier of tableware to the aristocracy. There is a clear and long standing association between elegant living and fine dining that has prevailed since the eighteenth century, with Royal Crown Derby a constant feature.

Today, Royal Crown Derby remains the last of the original English fine bone china companies still made entirely in England.

Royal Crown Derby Entertains is the latest development in this continuing success story and represents a vision to create tableware as a luxury statement for discerning guests at the Waldorf Hotel.
