Paint the town red with Mandarin and Christian Louboutin

Tuesday, 1 March 2011 9:25 AM

Christian Louboutin has joined forces with Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park to create the ‘Paint the Town Red’ package, the ultimate girls’ weekend.

Shoe shopping, champagne, five-star hotel, manicures and pedicures and dinner in one of London’s hottest restaurants - all of this and more is on offer from Christian Louboutin and the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park as they have joined forces to create the ultimate girls’ weekend.

Guests will be able to check in to their room at London’s most exclusive address, Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park in Knightsbridge, before a mani/pedi nail paint and polish by the in-house spa team.

Afterwards it’s a quick taxi ride to Christian Louboutin’s flagship London store in Mayfair, where guests will be welcomed into the hidden ‘Library Room’, designed to be invisible to other shoppers through a series of mirrors and alcoves.

Back at the hotel, a specially created ‘Paint the Town Red’ cocktail is available at the Mandarin Bar before guests head to the stylish Bar Boulud for a three course dinner with wine.

The next morning, guests can enjoy a relaxing breakfast with Bloody Marys and smoked salmon before heading home.

The ‘Paint the Town Red’ package costs from £550 per person, based on two people sharing.
