John & Yoko
On March 24 1969, a white Rolls Royce pulled up in front of the hotel. John Lennon and Yoko Ono stepped out. They booked suite 702 and shortly afterwards all furniture, except for the bed, was removed. This marked the start of the famous "Bed-in" for peace, where they spent a week in bed to protest against the Vietnam war.

John & Yoko Suite
Today, the John & Yoko suite is one of the most famous bridal suites in the world. It has been recreated as it was, but with a few concessions to the more luxurious environment expected by today's guests. The style of decoration was approved and advised by Yoko Ono herself, and all materials used are natural, symbolizing purity.
