Solve a murder at a London hotel.
The Park Plaza Sherlock Holmes is inviting fans of the famous detective to grab their pipes, put on their deerstalkers, get out the magnifying glass and solve a murder. But don’t worry it’s not a real murder; the crime has been set up as part of the hotel’s new Murder Mystery Weekend package, as part of an ideal Sherlock Holmes themed stay.
How appropriate for a hotel named in honour of the great man himself!
The 4 star hotel is located at 108 Baker Street, just up the road from Sherlock Holmes’ old house (221b Baker Street). The package is designed to help any budding Holmes and Watsons test their crime-solving skills. The weekend begins with a detective-inspired walking treasure hunt on Saturday afternoon, where groups are briefed before being taken on a journey through the local streets to piece together clues and solve a crime.

Investigations continue at the Murder Mystery Evening over cocktails and a three course dinner, where guests will observe a murder mystery unfolding before them. Each table of guests must work as a team to question the suspects and uncover the necessary evidence to unravel the mystery.
As the evening draws to a close – and once the murderer has been safely caught – guests can retire to one of the hotel’s 119 guest rooms. Just make sure you lock the door in case you caught the wrong suspect!
The Murder Mystery Weekend starts from £144 per person, which includes the murder mystery treasure hunt, the murder mystery evening, a 3 course dinner and bed and breakfast at the hotel (based on 2 people sharing).
