Love is in the air for Valentine's Day in London but with so many hotels and offers, here's a guide to some of the most romantic experiences in the capital.

So whether you want to cuddle up for an amorous movie night with a difference or indulge in an afternoon tea of l'amour, here's a list of some of the most romantic hotels for lovers.



1. Saints and Sinners Valentine's at K West Hotel & Spa

Whether you are a hopeless romantic or a saucy minx, the modern K West Hotel & Spa will be music to the ears of many lovers. That's because the hotel has created music inspired naughty and nice packages from February 10 to 19.



Sweethearts can make the most of the One Love Saints Package - which is a nod to Bob Marley's lyrics of 'one love, one heart' - as it gives them the full romantic works of a bottle of champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries in an executive room. There are rose petals on the bed and big balloons to add that sense of occasion plus a bath treat, bath salts and a deluxe candle to make the evening as sensual as possible.

While the All Day and All of the Night Sinners Package – inspired by The Kinks song - includes a giant Porn Star Martini to share in the hotel's Studio Bar when guests arrive, things heat up in the bedroom, where some hot chilli crushed chocolate is waiting for the couple in an executive room. The bedroom is also seductively decorated with black feathers, big, bold balloons and a gift box filled with steamy surprises to spice up the stay.

The Saints or Sinners Package both cost £219 per couple.
