The Best Hotels for Christmas in London: 9 Festive Stays | Condé Nast Traveler

"Few London hotels evoke festive cheer more than this spot, whose famous towering tree in the entrance hall draws me back year after year. Traditional interiors make it (quite literally) the season to shine, and for 2025 there’s a first-ever brand collaboration with decorations yet to be unveiled. The center stage hosts live musicians daily, creating a fun yet sophisticated atmosphere any night of the week—Mondays buzz as much as Thursdays and Fridays—while Carols with Gareth Malone brings a raucous crowd each December week, fueled by fizzing Soho Home champagne flutes and a feast at one of the ground-floor (or rooftop, if you’re staying overnight) restaurants. On Christmas Day, a lavish feast awaits both hotel and external guests, plus a visit from the man in red; an evening here never fails to get me in the spirit." - Sarah Leigh Bannerman
