Broadwick Soho, London
“Ever since I visited Broadwick Soho for an event last year, a stay at this hotel has been top of my wishlist. With *the* most beautiful interiors and buzzy bars inside (see: Flute and Bar Jackie), I’m sure I could happily spend a whole weekend here without needing to leave Soho – it’s the definition of hotel that’s become a destination in itself, even for London locals.” – Natasha, Digital Editor

Sea Containers London
“Sea Containers London is one of my favourite hotels in London, located on the vibrant South Bank where I love to wander. This month, it unveiled four new luxury Cabin Suites inspired by glamorous 1920s transatlantic cruise liners – a journey I have always wanted to experience. I’m booked in to stay in this Mid-Century Cabin Suite in a couple of weeks and I can’t wait. Plus, the hotel’s multi-award-winning bar Lyaness, has created bottled cocktails inspired by the four eras, exclusively available to guests staying in the suites too. Nom.” – Robyn, Managing Director

Treehouse Hotel, London
“Treehouse Hotel is one of my favourite hotels, mainly because of the many happy times I’ve spent on their roof terrace, Nest. It’s such a fab summer spot, and their Mexican restaurant Madera is to die for.” – Elle, Venue Partnerships Manager

Raffles London at The OWO
“Raffles London at The OWO has to be one of London’s most stunning hotels, and a stay here has been on my bucket list for the longest time. The spa looks incredible (it covers four floors!), and the hotel is also home to one of London’s most exciting restaurants, Mauro Colagreco.” – Andrea, Food, Culture & Lifestyle Writer

Hotel Café Royal, London
“Hotel Café Royal is one of my favourite city escapes, not just for its impeccable five-star luxury and serene spa, but for its rich heritage and timeless elegance. Located in the heart of London on Regent Street, this iconic hotel has welcomed everyone from Oscar Wilde to David Bowie, blending historic grandeur with modern sophistication. Stepping inside feels like entering a peaceful sanctuary, a world away from the chaos outside.” – Elly, CEO

Adare Manor, Limerick, Ireland
“They’ve turned a 19th-century castle into the country’s most luxurious hotels amid 840 hectares of grounds. I’ve never stayed in a castle, and I would like to start here – also, I’m desperate to try the golf course, which will host the Ryder Cup in 2027.” – Patrick, Editorial Assistant
