A country that has managed to embrace the future while holding tight to the past, England caters to every traveller, even those with a regal disposition.

Can you hear London calling?

The unmistakable capital of England, London is a patchwork of history, majesty, music, theatre, fashion and more. Beyond the vibrant city proper are 32 boroughs that add up to make London the largest city in all of Western Europe with attractions to test the confines of your itinerary.

When it comes to booking London hotels, your choices are practically endless throughout Piccadilly, Paddington, Convent Garden, Leicester Square, Notting Hill and Soho, to name but a few. All of the well-known as well-loved hotels are in attendance, including the Best Western, Radisson Blu, Sofitel, Rydges, Hyatt, Novotel , Mercure and more.

Meandering through the Midlands

The Midlands are the heart of England where that imagined ideal of quaint, English countryside interspersed with convivial townships comes to life. A medley of man-made and natural wonders will fill your holiday across Derbyshire, Nottingham, Leicester, Birmingham and beyond.

You will find the familiar and always comfortable Mercure in Nottingham city centre, Shrewsbury Albrighton, Leicester city and Stratford Upon Avon. The ibis and Holiday Inn chains make an appearance across the Midlands too, while tasteful boutique hotels and humble bed and breakfasts are never far from the city limits.

Cultural hubs Liverpool and Manchester

Famed for its cultural influences and notorious as the birthplace of The Beatles, Liverpool is a historic city with a youthful energy that extends into a heady nightlife scene. Whether you're visiting to catch Liverpool FC in action or explore the many galleries and museums, there is an abundance of accommodation close to the must-see city sights, especially around Chapel, Hanover and Victoria streets.

Halfway between Liverpool and Leeds is the so-called capital of Northern England, Manchester – a brilliantly diverse city known for its sporting and musical prowess above all else. There are plenty of hotels in this vast city, including upmarket offerings from the Radisson Blue Edwardian and Marriott Victoria & Albert.
