A romantic escape needn’t mean longhaul travel or venturing somewhere remote. Instead, consider London. Whether you’re a local or new to the capital, planning the perfect date in the city is easier than you might think.
By day, enjoy some of the UK’s most iconic restaurant dishes or relax and unwind at one of the best spas in London . By night, check in to one of the capital’s most romantic hotels, as approved by our editors. How we choose the most romantic hotels in London Every hotel on this list has been selected independently by our editors and written by a Condé Nast Traveller journalist who knows the destination and has stayed at that property.
When choosing hotels, our editors consider both luxury properties and boutique and lesser-known boltholes that offer an authentic and insider experience of a destination. We’re always looking for beautiful design, a great location and warm service – as well as serious sustainability credentials. We update this list regularly as new hotels open and existing ones evolve.
