Where to stay this Valentine’s Day

Three great London hotel deals for a Valentine’s Day stay

January has been a tough month of the pandemic, politics and paltry weather, so you’d be forgiven for feeling just a little bit exhausted.

To counteract the blues, might we suggest treating yourself to a treat?

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, there are some excellent hotel packages available in the capital, with Londoners spoilt for choice.

Whether you’re after a solo staycation, a weekend with your other half or a night of good food and gossip with friends, here are three great options.

Kimpton Fitzroy, Bloomsbury

The Kimpton Fitzroy, found in the heart of Bloomsbury, is offering the ‘Get Kosy at Kimpton Package with your classic romantic features including a candlelit dinner, champagne and sweet treats.

Prices start from £409 but this also includes £100 in credit to spend at the hotel’s Galvin Bar & Grill restaurant, as well as the aforementioned bubbly and breakfast.

Munch on lobster ravioli in a lobster bisque, have a cocktail in the bar and then head upstairs for a sumptuous soak in the tub.

Hyatt Place, Whitechapel

If you’re working to a tight(er) budget or would rather eat out than pay for a hotel meal, this one might be a better fit. There’s even a Tesco across the road

Hyatt Place is a hop, skip and a jump from some of the capital’s biggest attractions including the Tower of London, Tower Bridge and the Gherkin.

For £129, you’ll get an overnight stay for two, breakfast, a bottle of prosecco and a box of chocolates. And let’s not forget the rose petals.

It’s a rom-com come to life.

The Resident, multiple London locations

The Resident is a tried-and-tested On.In London hotel and is well-worth a visit.

For Valentine’s Day, the chain – which has venues in Soho, Kensington, Victoria and Covent Garden, as well as Liverpool – is offering a cosy stay including in-room massage.

Prices vary but a small double room at the Soho location is £161 between 14-15 February.

It’s the ideal vacation for people who care more about function rather than features, but still want to treat themselves to an affordable night in a stylish hotel.

And The Resident’s locations are always smackbang in popular areas with plenty of food and drink options to choose from, and the team are happy to help arrange dining out or recommend local entertainment too.
