As the days grow longer and summer approaches, there’s never been a better time to plan a spontaneous staycation in London. Spring is the best time to enjoy London’s outdoor spaces, catch an open-air event, and indulge in some excellent food. The city also has relaxing activities such as spa treatments and drop-in yoga classes.

What to do around Hyde Park Boutique Hotel
During your residency at the Hyde Park Boutique Hotel, we encourage you to take an early morning stroll through our local park. Hyde Park contains several beautiful gardens, a boating lake, and a cafe. Enter via the Lancaster Gate Tube station and you will see the Italian Gardens, a hidden gem in London.
The hotel is close to such major cultural institutions as the Royal Academy of Arts. Consult their website to see what events are coming up; the RA Lates programme brings live music and craft experiences to the table.
Even if you’ve lost count of how many times you’ve visited London, there’s always a walking tour ready to unravel the secrets in a new area. Apart from the classic sightseeing routes, walking tours in London hone in on lesser known churches, street art hubs, and foodie spots. There are also tours of the “villages” of London, many of which are located in the vicinity of the Hyde Park Boutique Hotel in the West End.
Where to relax on a London staycation
Enhance your staycation by getting a spa treatment. AIRE Ancient Baths has a luxurious pampering menu of massages and body rituals in its subterranean bathing complex. These are designed for solo spa goers and couples.
On a sunny day, taking a river cruise is a lovely way to unwind in London. Rest your feet as the familiar landmarks float past and consider booking an afternoon tea cruise for an added treat.
In terms of dining, you’re spoilt for choice – particularly when you’ve selected the Hyde Park Boutique Hotel as your staycation base. Reserve a table at one of the Michelin-starred restaurants in Mayfair or enjoy the gastronomy at one of Marylebone’s gastropubs. Our front desk staff can assist with personalised recommendations and table reservations.
