Luxury Hotels in the UK and Ireland

When thinking about booking a stay at one of the UK's beautiful luxury hotels, you need to figure out exactly what you're looking for. Family fun, romantic getaway, or a chic place to impress your partner? Hotel websites and brochures are intentionally designed to 'wow' the reader, so if you don't keep what you're really looking for at the back of your mind, you run the risk of being reeled in by others.

For family fun, you should look for a luxury hotel that specifies itself as family friendly. Looking for a pool, a selection of family movies to watch, kid-friendly rooms, and maybe even a continental breakfast at your luxury hotel will help the entire family be comfortable. It may also help you have as much fun as possible. In most cases, you should be able to find a luxury hotel that offers child-care services, so that you and your partner can sneak out for an evening or two without the kids.

For a romantic getaway, you may want to look for a luxury hotel that offers optional room service, spa treatments, a sauna, and maybe some lounge entertainment. A luxury hotel can offer the romantic getaway of a lifetime, but don't be too overwhelmed by the range of entertainments that a hotel can offer, like golf courses, tennis courts or an in-house cinema. You'll most likely want to spend your free time within your own room, or dining at a romantic restaurant. Place these concerns first when looking for a romantic hotel.

For impressively chic and boutique hotels, you just need to pay attention to the styles on offer.Try to remember that they probably won't look as good in real life as they do on the page! There are as many styles out there as there are tastes: Romantic Victorian style furnishings, elegant and picturesque décor, modern art deco, urban neon, rock and roll - you just need to be sure which one you like best.

Why choose a luxury hotel experience?

Well, at most places, you do get what you pay for. The comfort level of a luxury hotel far surpasses all the others: huge beds and linen sheets, fur rugs, spectacular views - not to mention the little conveniences (like having a snack bar, room service, champagne on arrival, or a guests-only bar) that make a night or two worth everything.

Pampering has never been as personal as it is at a luxury hotel. Watch out for those that offer in-room massage, special spa treatments, facials, and even on-site hair dressers. Also prepare yourself to be waited-on hand and foot by the elegant and highly-trained hotel staff, who will take almost shockingly good care of you.
