Bulgari Hotel London

Best for: Families, or anyone after a taste of off-the-charts luxury
Imagine you’re in: A sophisticated hotel in Dubai

The hotel
Oozing with moody masculinity and restrained elegance, the Bulgari hotel, from the Italian high-end jewellery brand, muscled its way into the high-rolling Knightsbridge hotel scene – literally, as an entirely new building – in 2012. It’s a quick sashay from Harrods and Harvey Nichols (guests are given a personalised Bulgari business card to drop off, for ease of in-room delivery), and you can count the supercars picking guests up from the door.

The staycation
The new-for-2020 collection of deals includes options for every kind of staycationer. There’s B.Family, which gives up to two adults and two children run of the hotel’s 47-seat cinema and yoga studio. B.Private, meanwhile, is for those who want to isolate in the most stylish way possible, with in-suite hair and personal shopping appointments, and B.Beautiful is for anyone feeling less than glamorous post-lockdown (raise your hand), showering you in full-body spa and beauty treatments. The latter will have you primed and ready for B.Festive, a two-night stay from Christmas Eve to Boxing Day including all the relevant feasts.

The attention to detail really is quite remarkable.

The holiday vibe
The extreme pampering here should stir a post-trip glow. The combination of friendly, on-it staff, creative one-off experiences (a fine-dining picnic in Hyde Park, your choice of film in the cinema), treatments at the slick, subterranean spa and the lavish suites themselves all together instil a sense that your soul has had a total break from reality.
