Lieutenant Randolph Leonard Spencer Churchill returns to the Sir Winston Churchill Suite at Habtoor Palace Dubai

Al Habtoor City, October 19, 2022 – Habtoor Palace Dubai, LXR Hotels & Resorts, Al Habtoor City’s jewel of the crown is home to the signature Sir Winston Churchill Suite – a one of its kind suite in the region. Unique memorabilia and licensed reproduction of some of Churchill’s most significant moments, personal artworks and collectibles adorn the walls of the Palace’s most iconic suite.

Lieutenant Randolph Leonard Spencer Churchill visited Habtoor Palace Dubai on Saturday October 15, more than seven years after his inaugural visit and reveal of the Sir Winston Churchill Suite. On his return, Lieutenant Randolph chose to be accompanied by his children, who discovered the suite’s tribute to their late great great grandfather for the very first time, with pride and nostalgia.

The family visit was celebrated with the hallmarks of Habtoor Palace Dubai’s exceptional hospitality, with airport pick up in a chauffeured Bentley limo, dedicated butler at their service 24/7, including priority table reservation at the acclaimed Saturday Brunch at World Cut Steakhouse – Habtoor Palace Dubai’s signature outlet. The Churchill family were received with a special greeting from Christophe Mousset, General Manager of Habtoor Palace Dubai and Acting General Manager of Al Habtoor City Hotel Collection. Randolph Churchill was welcomed to the Sir Winston Churchill Suite with amenities specially handcrafted for the occasion, including a showpiece cigar box made of chocolate truffle, pate de fruit and homemade chocolates complimented by an edible frame with Sir Winston Churchill’s famous quote “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is courage to continue that counts”. The Churchill family got a chance to pose in front of their great grandfather’s portrait from 8 May 1945, during the end of the Second World War in Europe.

Lieutenant Randolph Leonard Spencer Churchill is the great grandson of Sir Winston Churchill – the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940, and the first Prime Minister to have served her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II. He was the incumbent prime minister when Queen Elizabeth came in power. Randolph gained the rank of Lieutenant in the service of the Royal Navy. Randolph is also part of The International Churchill Society – founded in 1968, shortly after Churchill’s death, which studies life and works of Sir Winston Churchill. The society’s exhibits are located at the Churchill War Rooms in London and the National Churchill Library and Center at the George Washington University in Washington DC. The society publishes Finest Hour, a quarterly journal discussing Churchill’s political philosophy and its relevance to today’s issues. The mission of The International Churchill Society is to commemorate Churchill's life by reflecting his values, qualities of leadership, writing and oratory, and his commitment to the lessons of history, democracy and citizenship.

“The welcome we received was absolutely wonderful. I must say absolutely over the moon, how the Habtoor family has brought this whole area to life and made it so beautifully. My great grandfather would have been so ecstatic seeing the Sir Winston Churchill Suite. I am also so thrilled and proud with the association the Habtoor family has with Churchill and proud to see the Winston Churchill armor at Al Habtoor Polo, a special thank you to Habtoor Palace Dubai to organize a special Bentley chauffeured drive to Al Habtoor Polo for the opening of the polo season, as one of the very exclusive partner experiences provided to privileged guests of Habtoor Palace Dubai.” – Lieutenant Randolph Leonard Spencer Churchill
