London

London is one of those magical cities where there is always something new to do and I love to explore new places to eat, drink, or be entertained each time I go. I also love the unique and exceptional hotel scene in the city - there are so many options based on what you are looking for and new properties opening all the time. Here are some of my current favorites!

Stay

When you book any of these properties with me, you will receive perks like a $100 food and beverage credit, room upgrade, early check-in and late check-out, and more!

One Aldwych

I love this unique, luxury property in Covent Garden - a quick walk from West End theatres and shopping. They have a wonderful commitment to sustainability (with beehives on their roof!) and the suites are wonderfully appointed. I especially love The Dome Suite - pictured below.

Mayfair Townhouse

This property is an eclectic combination of 15 Georgian townhouses and embodies what you think of when you think of a luxury hotel in London. I love the gorgeous Dandy Bar and the comfortable vibe around the hotel and in the rooms and suites with their calming colors and luxury finishes. And, the location is superb - near all of the shopping you want and some of the most visited attractions in London. No two rooms are the same here and they have an option for anyone - I can help you find the perfect spot.

45 Park Lane

Part of the Dorchester Collection, 45 Park has a contemporary and luxurious flare that will make you not want to leave the hotel. Each room overlooks Hyde Park and has an incredibly spacious floor plan - especially for a city hotel. I love their food and beverage options onsite as well - CUT for a lovely meal and BAR 45 for a cocktail.

Broadwick SOHO

This new addition to the luxury hotel scene in London is making everyone talk with its creative aesthetic and interesting design. The location in SOHO makes it the perfect choice for enjoying some of the best restaurants and bars in the area as well as the theatre. You will love the playful yet luxurious touches throughout.

Photos are in order of the hotels described above.

Eat & Drink

These are my (very random) favorite places and frequently visited spots in London!

Cahoots - an amazing cocktail bar that has a fun vibe. Reserve ahead of time and choose “Underground.” You won’t be disappointed!

Cecconi’s Pizza Bar - a great casual spot for lunch - is part of Soho House. Easy location right in the heart of Soho.

Bubala Soho - offers an amazing vegan-tasting menu.

Dean Street Townhouse - one of my favorite spots for afternoon tea.

Café Boheme - a laid back spot perfect for brunch.

Things to Do

If you are a first-time visitor to London, I recommend checking out the museums and palaces - they are exceptional. The Crown Jewels at the Tower of London are worth a visit as is the British Museum. I also highly recommend seeing a show in the West End - there are tons of options and it is magical. If you are visiting in the summer, take an hour and stroll around one or more of the parks - I especially love Regent’s Park with the rose gardens. Here are some of my other unique favorites:

Regent's Park Open Air Theatre - If you have a chance to see a show here, I highly recommend it. You can enjoy food and drinks on the grounds before the cool theatre experience.

ABBA Voyages - If you are an ABBA fan, this is a MUST do. If you aren’t but love to have some drinks and dance to fun music, you will love this show.

Fairgame - Deemed “The World's First Immersive Adult's Fairground” - not sure what could be better?

Crazy Coqs - One of my favorite places to see a show - lots of great singers and drag performers. Anne Steele is back there in April!
