London is a busy city and The Hoxton, Holborn – located just a few steps away from Covent Garden, Oxford Street and the British Museum – puts you in the centre of it all.

7. Karma Sanctum Soho Hotel, London
Best described as rock ‘n’ roll meets boutique, the sultry decor at Karma Santum Soho Hotel sets the tone. This is not somewhere you’re visiting for its interior design – but who cares when you’re having so much fun. Rooms are eclectic; choose from the purple aesthetics and four-poster bed in the Superior Rooms, the gold-accented Loft Suites with free-standing bath, the mosaic-mirrored Junior Suite, or more. Enjoy dinner at the Wild Heart Bar & Shokudo or, if leaving your room even for an hour or so is out of the question, take advantage of in-room dining with a sharing platter delivered to your room. There’s a jacuzzi on the roof terrace, but not much else to explore within its walls. Except your partner, of course.
