London’s hotels are often keen to foster and support the arts in their many forms. Recently, Brown’s ran its very first art weekend and the Andaz Liverpool Street began its ‘Room with a View‘ project.

When you walk into a hotel, you immediately notice the design, the lighting, the music. You might notice the texture of the furnishings, or the gleam of a polished marble floor. You’ll notice the smiles of the staff at the door or on the front desk. But the one thing you probably won’t notice is […]

London has been sweltering in the heat for much of July, and things have been hotting up in the capital’s boutique hotel scene too.

Two of The Langham’s bars have been creating a lot of buzz recently.

I’m a big fan of hotels that celebrate their birthdays mainly because it usually means lots of special events, discounts and themed packages. Two hotels which are doing it particularly well this year are the London Hilton on Park Lane and The Langham which have both created special afternoon tea menus with added quirks. The […]
