Little compares to Christmas in London. As the cool winds of winter usher December in, the city has already eased into the festivities, with glittering displays lighting up its most iconic streets. London’s world-famous hotels can always be relied on to pull out all the stops when it comes to Christmas, too, with lavish trees, installations and decorations welcoming guests across the threshold.
From partnerships with lauded designers to opulent festive packages, each year is bigger and better when it comes to the holidays and 2022 is no exception. The theatrics of the grand Christmas tree unveilings mark the start of the festive period for many, with each hotel going above and beyond to put on the most lavish display — and create magical memories for their guests.
Whether you’re heading to the capital for a touch of gift shopping or looking for somewhere to stay on the big day, these are the best London hotels to visit at Christmas.

This year, Brown’s Hotel is welcoming local London jeweler David Morris as its festive partner, who has acted as the inspiration for its lavish gilded installation. A trail of glitter leads guests to the main event: a David Morris-decorated tree, complete with an exuberant display of silver, rose gold and gold baubles and gifts.
To mark the collaboration, Brown’s is also launching a festive package, which includes two nights accommodation, an in-room Christmas tree decorated by the hotel’s in-house florist, an exclusive masterclass in David Morris’s Mayfair boutique and a champagne afternoon tea. We can’t imagine a better way to see in the holiday season.

If one thing’s for certain, it’s that Claridge’s will go all out for Christmas. This year, the iconic address has enlisted Jimmy Choo to design its tree, with creative director Sandra Choi reimagining the beloved diamond motif via a series of reflective mirrors.
