Forget Christmas itself, it’s the adventures before that you’ll remember well into next year. Whatever the reason, with drama, department stores and top class dining galore you’ll find plenty to keep the whole family entertained here. To help you pick the perfect base for your cultural, shopping or theatre break – and ensure you get a silent night – this festive season, we’ve picked our favourite hotels for you to choose from.
You can’t visit London without a trip to some of its most prestigious shops, and Knightsbridge will make your perfect base. This is where you’ll find the likes of Harvey Nichols or Harrods, which are well worth a browse or the more independent boutiques selling designer threads like Yves Saint Laurent, Mulberry and Missoni plus high street favourites Topshop, H&M and French Connection.
The NH Kensington is an ideal hotel for those planning on splashing out whilst in the big smoke. Offering one of the best sleeps in the capital, the NH Kensington will soon take away the stresses and strains of shopping with its ultra-plush mattresses.
The Tower Hotel is a great location for those looking to take in London’s best tourist attractions. With 800 rooms to choose from and its riverside location, it is not only one of the largest London hotels but also one of the best placed. Just a stone’s throw away from the hotel you’ll find the London Eye, Tower Bridge and the Tower of London.
For first-class entertainment this festive season you really can’t do much better than London’s West End. Here, you’ll find an array of shows on offer, ranging from the hilarious to the dramatic to the most arresting of spectacles. Book a stay at The Royal Horseguards on Whitehall, one of the most grand hotels Hotels4U has to offer.
In addition to being located just a stone’s throw from “Theatreland” and the West End’s delicious dining spots, the Grade I listed hotel also boasts its own award-winning cuisine in the One Twenty One Two restaurant and al fresco Terrace – as well as an array of five-star facilities.
