Novotel London Brentford ****
A dip in the pool, a trip to the spa and a whole day according to moi... This weekend you’ll be heading just beyond picture-perfect Richmond for 24 hours of unadulterated you-time. After wandering Kew Gardens and taking in scenery straight out of a Monet, you’ll don a swimsuit and hit the sauna. From there you’ll head to the pool, an aquatic haven that will transport you to the twinkling turquoise water of the ocean. And whether you’ve just had a good long soak or swam to your heart’s content, your efforts will be rewarded by a glass of your favourite vino or a cocktail that makes your tastebuds tingle.
What to expect:
🚂 Start settling into relaxation mode during the short journey to Brentford.
🌴 Drop your bags in your spacious double room before securing your tickets to the nearby Kew Gardens (add-on)
✨ Head back to the hotel and slip into your uniform for the next 24 hours: a fluffy robe and slippers.
🔥 Slip on down to the sauna and sweat out all your troubles.
🌊 Cool off in West London’s answer to the big blue: as you take in the aquatic scenery that surrounds the pool, you'll practically hear the sounds of waves crashing against the sand.
🍸 Swap your sea legs for your land legs before slurping on a glass of vino or a cocktail.
🥂 Continue the party with a bottle of Prosecco back in the room (add-on)
🍳 Wake up well-rested before heading for a buffet breakfast: think croissants, fruits, your cooked breakfast favourites, and pretty much whatever your heart desires.
If you do get a chance to amble around the nearby Syon Park, you might recognise the imposing house on its grounds from season two of Bridgerton.
Fantastic all round!
Great time and nice small surprise in the room from staycation. Hotel was very clean and comfortable. Nice pool, ok sauna, no hammam though. Staff really nice and friendly and great room. Felt very comfortable and got to enjoy a relaxing weekend!
