London Hotels

London might be known for its iconic landmarks, but its unique hotels are just as exciting. London is one of the top cities globally for cool architecture, with centuries-old buildings turned into one-of-a-kind places to stay. Think converted barges on the Thames, infinity pools 52 floors up and even renovated old town halls. Beyond your hotel, London boasts a selection of attractions, from the instantly recognisable Big Ben and Buckingham Palace to lesser-known—but equally impressive—landmarks like Kensington Palace and Kenwood House. As the town centre is walkable, you can easily visit most major attractions across London in just a weekend.  

Berlin Hotels

Berlin's gritty urban vibes and artistic flair lend themselves perfectly to unique hotels and unusual stays. This city is constantly evolving, expertly transforming everything from old breweries to Cold War-era power stations into vibrant new spaces. Here, you could find yourself staying in a stylish converted factory with exposed brick walls, steel beams and contemporary art decor. A 2 to 4-day visit gives you time to see the sights, with some of the most famous attractions including the Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie and the Reichstag.  

Edinburgh Hotels

Thanks to its unique hotels housed in inviting old buildings, staying in Edinburgh feels like travelling back in time. These stone-walled properties lovingly embrace Scottish traditions—think tartan textiles, tweed furnishings and cosy fireplaces—while offering modern comfort. Whether you're staying in the medieval Old Town or the elegant Georgian-era New Town, you'll be steps away from the city's most prestigious sights when staying in unique hotel in the UK. Explore Edinburgh Castle, stroll down the Royal Mile or hike up Arthur's Seat for panoramic views. The compact historic centre means you can pack plenty into a weekend stay, though you may want slightly longer for a day trip to the stunning Scottish Highlands. 

Amsterdam Hotels 

For unique hotels in Amsterdam, check out the timeless merchant houses. These narrow, tall canal houses—often dating back to the 17th century—feature distinctly Dutch facades on the outside and exposed beams, brick walls and contemporary design on the inside. Stay in the lively Canal Ring for postcard-perfect city views or, if you're keen on a more local vibe, book a stay in the hip Jordaan neighbourhood. In either district, you'll be close to attractions like the Van Gogh Museum and the peaceful Vondelpark. While a weekend gives you time for the essentials, add an extra day to go cycling into the countryside and explore charming villages like Zaanse Schans. 

Paris Hotels

When it comes to unique stays and cultured getaways, few cities can compete with Paris. The French capital is just a short flight from most major UK airports, making it ideal for a romantic weekend escape. Each neighbourhood flaunts its own distinct character, from the bohemian charm of Montmartre to the literary legacy of Saint-Germain-des-Prés and the aristocratic elegance of Le Marais. As for unique hotels, Paris excels. Expect converted artists' studios with high ceilings and elegant townhouses with fancy exteriors and period balconies. Beyond famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe, be sure to check out hidden gems like Parc des Buttes Chaumont.  

Brighton Hotels

Just an hour from London by train, Brighton is ideal for a quick getaway full of nostalgic British seaside vibes and quirky independent shops. The iconic Brighton Pier, the exotic Royal Pavilion and the bustling Lanes are among the most popular attractions in town, while a short drive away, the rolling South Downs National Park is ideal for an afternoon of rambling. What really sets Brighton apart, though, is its selection of unique stays that embody the city's playful and free-spirited personality. You'll find elegant Regency townhouses, grand Victorian seafront hotels and quirky boutiques with retro furnishings.
