Christmas Shopping Made Easy With London Hotels
The annual sound of jingle bells is nearly upon us as Christmas time draws near. While the festive season is many people’s favourite time of the year, let’s be honest who really enjoys Christmas shopping? Why not take a trip to a nearby city like London, Dublin and Paris and enjoy a mini break alongside your Christmas shopping? Most London hotels are fairly inexpensive and superbly located in the heart of the city centre.
London
London comes alive at Christmas; from the lights adorning Oxford Street to the stalls in Covent Garden. The Department stores really come alive at this time of the year, particularly Harrods and Selfridges with their extravagant window displays.
London’s Christmas markets are a long standing tradition in the city and hugely popular with visitors. The Southbank Centre proudly hosts the Cologne Christmas Market from the 19th of November right until the 23rd of December; find beautifully hand crafted toys and jewellery.
Paris
Why not book a holiday to Paris, the city of romance and fashion, and do your Christmas shopping in style. Although Paris has many large department stores such as Printemps, in December the city comes alive with festive markets.
You can chose from an impressive range of affordable Paris hotels. The Murat Hotel is located just minutes away from the banks of the Seine and a stones throw away from plenty of bars and restaurants. Comfortable facilities and friendly staff are a feature at this three-star hotel.
Dublin
Dublin hotels can provide a relaxing and restful base for Christmas shopping. Only 15 minutes away from Dublin’s city centre, the three-star establishment has an enviable location . Picture classic elegance blended with contemporary design.
A traditional German market will take place in Dublin’s Docklands this year, an event that has been organised by a German event’s organisation. The authentic market showcases beautiful decorations, painted chalets, arts and crafts, live music and festive food – definitely an experience not to be missed! Dublin has plenty of affordable places to eat and drink after our a long day shopping and you wont be far from a great hotel to drop off your purchases – just remember to take your scarves and gloves to wrap up warm!
