PRESTIGE & LUXURY HOTELS
Punk or rock, Beatles or Stones, Mary Quant or Vivienne Westwood, golf or football, Chelsea or Manchester United, club or pub, beer or whiskey, fish or chips ... in United Kingdom, the most eclectic island that exists is absolutely essential to visit! If London remains unquestionably "the place to be", getting off the beaten track is quintessentially British. And Britain has lots of treasures in store: enjoy delightful cottages with gardens brimming with flowers in Kent or the Sussex, explore the rehabilitated docks of Liverpool, discover the medieval colleges of Oxford or the ruins of Stonehenge…. Back to the capital city of London, we should take the time to live like those who live here: the banks of the Thames in Soho via Nothing Hill or Covent Garden, we can walk around Westminster and its Palace next to the must see London Bridge… A change of scenery is guaranteed!
