Romantic London hotels 

Romantic hotels in London

London may not have the reputation of Venice, Paris or Rome, but if you are in the mood for love, the capital can oblige with romantic weekend breaks.

One of Europe's greenest cities, it boasts Regents Park, St James' Park, Green Park, Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens all in the centre of town, as well as Richmond Park and Kew Gardens to the south west; Greenwich and Blackheath to the south East, Hampstead and its spectacular views to the north. But London is rarely more beautiful than when viewed at dusk from the banks of the Thames, the city's lights streaked across the smooth water.

You won't be short of things to do on a London weekend break - galleries, concerts, theatre, shopping, sight-seeing. Or consider proposing over dinner-a-deux in one of more than 40 Michelin-starred restaurants.

For the perfect romantic weekend, your accommodation should set the mood. To help you find that special somewhere, we've highlighted 24 romantic hotels in London on our interactive Hotel Map, ranging from intimate boutique hotels to unashamed five-star luxury.

Secret London hotels can be found in quieter neighbourhoods such as Clerkenwell and Bloomsbury, and tucked among the narrow streets of Soho or by the canals of Little Venice. Set in Georgian and Victorian townhouses, they combine seclusion with a frisson of grandeur, and often a four poster bed.

Nothing quickens the pulse like a spot of unbridled luxury, and London has luxury hotels aplenty: marble floors, wood panelling, genuine antiques, capacious baths, and the plumpest pillows in the West. You could stay in a grand converted banking hall, one of the great Victorian station hotels, a top floor room with views across Hyde Park, a whole hotel suite, or a cosy room above an inn.

And of course if you don't feel like going out, for (ahem!) whatever reason, many of the best London hotels boast their own chic bars and award-winning restaurants, not to mention attentive room service.
