With Valentine's Day just over a month away, it’s time to turn your thoughts to romance. So why not spoil your loved one (and yourself) with a naughty weekend in the capital?
And try not forget about the sightseeing while you’re there; because with hotel rooms this special, you’ll have sights of an altogether different kind in mind.
Here’s our pick of romantic London hotel rooms that you’ll never want to leave. Well, you can always just see London out of the window, right?
The May Fair
Wow. This breathtaking hotel takes luxury to a whole new level with its 12 individually designed, decadent suites that provide an indulgent and ever so naughty escape from the world. If the suites are a little out of reach, then you won’t be disappointed with the absolutely gorgeous bedrooms which feature Catalan furniture and beautiful Sicilian marble bathrooms.
Rooms are available on Saturday 12th February from at £237. Book your room at The May Fair.
Sanctum Soho
Sanctum Soho is an unapologetic haven of hedonism located right at the heart of London. Two Victorian buildings have been converted into an extravagantly exclusive playpen for the most discerning of guest, with individually designed rooms ranging from crash pads to a penthouse apartment. In-room facilities include Wii games consoles and fit boards, ipod docking stations and state-of-the-art entertainment systems. And if you fancy getting dressed and venturing out of the room, you’ll discover plenty to do from the underground cinema to the rooftop garden with an al-fresco hot tub.
Rooms are available on Saturday February 12th from £216. Book your room at Sanctum Soho.
51 Buckingham Gate
Arranged around a beautiful private courtyard, 51 Buckingham Gate and Taj Suites comprise 86 luxury suites and serviced apartments near to Buckingham Palace. And when we say ‘luxury’, we mean it. If you really must leave the confines of your love-nest, there’s a stunning spa downstairs with plenty of treatments on offer.
Junior Suites are available from £344 on Saturday 12th February. Book your suite at 51 Buckingham Gate.
Threadneedles
Tucked away behind Bank Tube, this luxurious boutique hideaway is housed in a stunning converted banking hall that was voted by Conde Nast Traveller as one of the top 50 hotels in the world. Relax together in your limestone bath before snuggling down into your Egyptian Cotton bed... and for that extra special touch check out The Terrace Suite and The Loft, with private balconies overlooking St Paul’s Cathedral.
Rooms are available on Saturday 12th February, starting at £234. Book your room at Threadneedles here.
Fox Club
Once the home of celebrated 18th Century courtesan Elizabeth Armistead and her politician husband Charles Fox, this foxy little bijou hotel is a stylish and romantic bolthole in the heart of Mayfair. Following a complete refurbishment in 2008, the gorgeously elegant rooms are all individually designed with sumptuous fabrics, luxurious bathrooms and Molton Brown products.
Twenty Nevern Square
One of London’s best kept secrets, this romantic haven overlooking Garden Square boasts 20 rooms each with hand carved, romantic four poster beds and sumptuous fabrics. We particularly love the Luxury Double room, with its own private staircase and canopied bed.
