GINGERBREAD WAY RETURNS!
Last year, Chef Andrew Wilson and his team constructed a laneway lined with gingerbread in the East Lobby of the hotel with over 8500 freshly baked gingerbread bricks, real icing and twelve kinds of candy. This year our Gingerbread Way returns and will be revealed November 22. It’s sure to be a royal treat!
