Hotels for Christmas in London
If anywhere embodies the magic of Christmas in all its varied glory, it's London. Alongside the combination of festive cheer and retail therapy bliss, London is also home to some of the UK's finest hotels.
The Goring, Belgravia
Featured Hotels
Broadwick Soho
London, Greater London
Launched by a group of friends, and rejoicing in an ambience inspired by vibrant, bohemian Soho, this family-friendly hotel has exuberant decor, generously equipped bedrooms, a street café, a rooftop bar with wraparound terrace, a classy Italian restaurant and a spirit of sheer joie de vivre.
Durrants
London
You step back in time when you enter this cossetting hotel, owned by the Miller family since 1921, steeped in hospitable tradition, with a fine-dining restaurant and a bar serving finger sandwiches and light bites, just the place for afternoon tea.
The Goring
London, Middlesex
Its family roots and boutique size give The Goring the sense of visiting a superbly enriching home, and as such it has a real intimacy to it that's perfect for a cosy Christmas escape.
The Beaumont
London
Art Deco interiors, Jazz Age glamour, a cocktail bar with outdoor terrace, the New York-style Colony Grill and a small spa combine to make this hotel at the heart of Mayfair one of London's most desirable.
Charlotte Street Hotel
London, Middlesex
A Bloomsbury Group theme runs through this lively hotel north of Soho, styled by Kit Kemp, with original artworks from that era, beautifully designed and thoughtfully equipped bedrooms and suites, a lounge, library, heated terrace, all-day dining, and Parisian-style pavement café tables
Haymarket Hotel
London, Middlesex
Enjoy a sensational festive feast at one of the most luxurious restaurants in the heart of London at the Haymarket Hotel.
Ham Yard Hotel
London, Middlesex
Sit back, relax and enjoy Christmas at one of the most stylish hotels in London. Seasonal events include festive wreath making workshops, while food and drink never fails to disappoint.
Eccleston Square Hotel
London
The Doric porch and white stucco exterior of a handsome 1830s terrace townhouse on a leafy garden square give no clue to the ultra-high-tech facilities at this Pimlico hotel, with its 'digital concierge' and adjustable beds with massage settings, though a human will bring bar food to your room.
If anywhere embodies the magic of Christmas in all its varied glory, it's London. Alongside the combination of festive cheer and retail therapy bliss, London is also home to some of the UK's finest hotels. From the lights on Oxford Street to shopping at Liberty's, hot chocolate at Ladurée in Harrods, strolling along the South Bank and exploring the Christmas markets, carols in Covent Garden and Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, it's a feast for the senses. Whether it's a traditional holiday pub with rooms surrounded by mahogany staircases and glasses of port, or a quirky weekend away from London, soaking up the city's wide variety of culture, London has it all.
