Best Hotels For A Spring Getaway In London
Spring is underway, and that means our tastes when it comes to hotel breaks are changing with the seasons. Rather than cosy, warm fires and nooks for reading, we’re looking for bright, floral fixtures and easy access to parks, gardens, and the great outdoors.
Spring also means we’ve finally come to the end of a horrible fallow period for Bank Holidays, so we can finally start planning trips away. Here are our picks for the best hotels in and around London for a Spring getaway, from blooming gardens to sky-high dining, and idyllic terraces to seasonal afternoon teas.
