Welcome to Amsterdam
Welcome to Amsterdam
The Netherlands’ capital and a cosmopolitan hub, Amsterdam’s past as a major trading post and colonial power has resulted in a diverse and multifaceted city. You’ll find a free-spirited atmosphere, a plenitude of museums and an unusual building style born of its low-lying, canal-threaded landscape.
You can take tours exploring Amsterdam’s historic districts or its Jewish history and importance in World War II, including the Anne Frank House. A boat tour along the canals lets you see the city from a different perspective, along with the history of the shipping lanes that still influence the city’s success. See Dutch Masters at the Rijksmuseum, or visit smaller galleries devoted to individual artists, like the Van Gogh Museum and Rembrandt House.

London, the capital city of England, is a vibrant and bustling metropolis that offers a unique blend of history, culture, and modernity. From the iconic Big Ben and the Tower Bridge to the trendy neighborhoods of Soho and Shoreditch, London has something for everyone.
The city is home to some of the world's most famous museums, including the British Museum, the National Gallery, and the Tate Modern, which showcase a vast collection of art and artifacts from around the globe. Visitors can also explore the historic landmarks such as Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, and the Houses of Parliament, which are steeped in centuries of British history.
London is also a foodie's paradise, with a diverse range of cuisines available in every corner of the city. From traditional fish and chips to Michelin-starred restaurants, the city's culinary scene is sure to delight even the most discerning palate.
For those looking for a more relaxed experience, London's parks and gardens offer a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Finally, London's nightlife is legendary, with a plethora of bars, clubs, and live music venues catering to every taste. Whether you're looking for a quiet drink in a cozy pub or a wild night out on the town, London has it all.
ME London for 3 nights
ME London for 3 nights
The relatively unassuming exterior of the Me London gives little away of what's inside: 157 rooms and suites set around a mesmerising marble atrium, capped off with a sprawling rooftop bar serving great cocktails to sip while you admire the London skyline.
The highlights of ME are discreetly hidden from public view – so, like its exterior, the hotel's ground floor is deceptively low key: it's up on the first floor that things get interesting. This is The Atrium, where guests check in: an almost 100-foot-high hollow white marble pyramid with roving light show (on rotation) across its three walls. The effect really is mesmerising, and even better when enjoyed with a glass of complimentary prosecco served upon arrival.
Hotel guests benefit from priority seating at STK and Radio Rooftop, with no need to book; a particular boon at the latter, which can get very busy at peak times.
Your room: Superior ME City View
Light is a key feature in this room thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows. This space combines style, functionality and character. The room provides a king-size bed, a lounge area in which to relax, and a bathroom with a Balinese shower.
Thursday 8th August 2024

Welcome to Edinburgh
Welcome to Edinburgh
Dominated by a lofty castle and renowned for its mixture of high culture and cosmopolitan cool, Edinburgh is Scotland's historic capital. It's graced with fine architecture both in its medieval Old Town and Georgian New Town, a collection of great museums and a host of lively restaurants and bars, yet compact enough for you to explore on foot.
With historic buildings lining the handsome streets, strong connections to a host of literary giants and an internationally renowned festival, it's a cultural heavyweight protected as both a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a City of Literature. Despite its august credentials, the city has a vibrant, youthful character with a reputation for great nightlife and a sophisticated but down-to-earth air.
Kimpton Charlotte Square for 3 nights
Kimpton Charlotte Square for 3 nights
Perched on the edge of a picturesque private garden in the New Town, Kimpton Charlotte Square Hotel blends traditional glamour with the Scotland of today.
Outside, a classical Georgian exterior stands as an ode to the past while inside, past the lobby, a glass-topped central courtyard is abuzz with activity as travellers unwind over gin & tonics, local professionals do business, and friends toast special occasions. The energy is so fresh and effervescent that you’ll want to bottle it and bring it home—but then again, it feels too distinctly Edinburgh to make sense anywhere else.
Your room: Essential Room
Sumptuous but not stuffy, refined but not overtly regal, your Essential Room at the Kimpton Charlotte Square Hotel has a slightly different design sensibility.
You will notice the hand-picked art and decor, luxurious furniture and fabrics, and marble baths. Toiletries made from high-end ingredients and rainfall showers round out the creature comforts. It’s the ultimate place to recharge and rest up before meeting friends for cocktails down in the garden.
