On March 23, 1969, John Lennon and his bride Yoko Ono arrived in the evening at Hilton Amsterdam where they checked into room 902. Until their departure on March 29, the Lennons did not leave the bed. As a protest for world peace, the couple received journalists and photographers in their hotel room in order to make their message known worldwide. Their stay became world news and was followed in every corner of the world.
