Make it a festive season to remember. Come sleet or snow, Park Plaza promises to be as cosy and magical as your favourite festive fairy tale. And when it comes to New Year’s Eve, we’re putting on elaborate feasts, live entertainment and rooftop soirées with views of Europe’s best fireworks displays.
Celebrate the festive season in the heart of London, with the glittering Thames and Big Ben as your backdrop. Ring in the New Year with a five-course culinary extravaganza at Brasserie Joël and spend the evening enjoying refined French-inspired cuisine. Or secure your spot on the Presidential Balcony with a glass of champagne in hand and see London’s world-famous fireworks display from the most iconic vantage point in the city.
Steps from London’s twinkling Christmas lights and biggest winter attractions, celebrate in style on Christmas Day at Chino Latino. With a multi-course menu that blends festive flavours with signature Chino Latino flair, it’s a luxurious way to spend the day. For a dazzling New Year’s Eve party with one of London’s best views of the fireworks display, head to the 12th-floor River View Lounge. With sweeping views of the River Thames, the London Eye, Houses of Parliament and Battersea Power Station, there’s no better place to ring in 2026.
The Dutch capital lights up during the festive season, and where better to stay than in the heart of the action. Spend Christmas Eve, Christmas Day or Boxing Day at Carstens Steakhouse for a festive dining experience with a specially crafted menu. Then take in the sights and sounds of the Amsterdam Light Festival where the city’s canals are painted in a radiant glow or go ice skating at Rembrandtplein and glide the day away.
Budapest’s festive season is a celebration of Hungarian culture and tradition, with Christmas markets that light up the city’s squares and delicious treats ready to devour. From the main downtown squares around the Basilica, Vörösmarty tér, Városháza Park and Erzsébet tér, to Buda Castle and City Park, there’s a market for everyone. For something fun for the whole family, go ice skating in the shadow of St Stephen’s Basilica and see the nightly 3D light show projected onto the basilica’s façade.
