Where to celebrate the festive season

December is here and we’re fully embracing the joy of the festive season!

We’ve helped you find three magical stays, however if you’re determined to fill the month with as much merriment as possible like we are, here are a few extra spots that should be on your festive radar.

Maybourne hotels in London | Claridge’s, The Connaught, The Berkeley
These three iconic London hotels live and breathe the spirit of Christmas. Both Claridge’s and The Connaught are proudly displaying their annual Christmas trees, with Claridge’s designed by renowned Louis Vuitton and The Connaught’s by influential British artist and sculptor Dame Rachel Whiteread.

The legendary hotels are bringing unforgettable festive moments to Mayfair with a very special three-night stay offering at Claridge’s and a two-night stay at The Connaught, complete with a personally addressed letter by Father Christmas for guests!

Not forgetting The Berkeley in Knightsbridge, which will be welcoming guests to stay from 24-26 December to enjoy horse-drawn carriage rides around Belgravia (with hot chocolate, of course) and an all-the-trimmings, five-course feast on the big day.

The Arts Club
Set over four floors with 65,000 square feet dedicated to the club, The Art’s Club is not short on space for creating seasonal cheer for its members and their guests.

Highlights include decadent festive menus at The Brasserie, Alveare (to celebrate Christmas the Italian way) and Rohen (for a Nikkei-inspired festive feast), custom-made hampers and gifts, and a special panettone crafted by the club’s very own artisans so members can savour a taste of The Arts Club at home.

The celebrations will continue with a spectacular New Year’s Eve of dinners and dancing, with live entertainment across every floor. All three restaurants will be delivering unforgettable dining experiences followed by an unmatched celebration on The Rooftop as the countdown to 2024 begins.

Raffles The Palm Dubai
Known as the beachfront palace regally situated on Palm Jumeirah, Raffles The Palm will transform into an enchanting wonderful for the festive season.

With a full calendar events across the month of December, guests can enjoy the likes of Christmas brunches and dinners, festive afternoon teas, and glittering New Year’s Eve celebrations including the Raffles Club Rooftop, Le Jardin, Piatti by the Beach, and a trip back to the roaring 1920s with a Gatsby Brunch at Sola.
