The Wellesley
The Wellesley offers five-star luxury in London

To celebrate the 2016 Leap Year, The Wellesley is handing the reins to its female guests to whisk loved ones away for a weekend of ultimate romance and pure relaxation in the heart of London this Valentine’s Day.

In a year that traditionally offers women the opportunity to propose to a man on 29 February, partnering with luxury day spa Ushvani, The Wellesley’s ‘Treat Him’ Valentine’s offering promises an experience that every discerning gentleman will love. Boyfriends, fiancés and husbands can enjoy a haven of indulgence; from a relaxing facial treatment at the nearby day spa, to an exclusive Cognac tasting experience, followed by a special romantic dinner in the hotel’s sumptuous Jazz Lounge.

Guests choosing The Wellesley’s ‘Treat Him’ Valentine’s offering can enjoy:

– Cognac tasting experience with the hotel’s Cognac sommelier

Situated in Chelsea, Ushvani is one of London’s most luxurious day spas; the Ushvani Men’s Signature Facial is a 90 minute treatment designed to revitalise and renew tired and dull skin, drawing on active botanicals such as papaya, kemiri, mangosteen and jojoba oil. The skin is gently cleansed and exfoliated using the Ushvani Men’s Papaya and Bamboo Facial Scrub, followed by a powerful rejuvenating massage over the face, décolleté and scalp. A mask is then applied to purify and leave the skin hydrated, rejuvenated, refreshed and with a healthy glow.

After relaxing at the spa, male guests will be suitably impressed with a one-to–one Cognac tasting session with the hotel’s Cognac sommelier, learning about flavours and pairings from The Wellesley’s impressive and rare collection in the Crystal Bar.

To conclude a memorable day, couples will retreat to the intimate art-deco surroundings of the Jazz Lounge for a delectable five-course menu of fine dining and live jazz, curated by executive chef Michele del Monaco, with Krug Champagne.

The new look Pulitzer Amsterdam launched this month following an extensive restoration

The new look Pulitzer Amsterdam launched this month following an extensive restoration. The new design concept is the vision of Creative Director, Jacu Strauss, and blends historical and modern Dutch craftsmanship through the hotel’s intricate maze of twenty-five connecting canal houses in the heart of Amsterdam’s historic city centre.

A highlight for couples and honeymooners is the beautiful Pulitzer Suite, a romantic, grand suite with free standing bath and Super King sized bed.

Exceptional craftsmanship has been demonstrated to enhance the 400 year-old canal houses set in the heart of the Amsterdam UNESCO World Heritage canal district. The buildings’ modern influences have been stripped back to reveal their hidden beauty and provide the canvas for the new design concept, which combines historical elements with contemporary style. From trade merchants to flamboyant Dutch aristocrats, past inhabitants of the canal houses have inspired the rich character of the hotel to bring through the traditional essence of the Dutch capital.

Pulitzer Amsterdam’s central location in one of the city’s chicest neighbourhoods right on the canal makes it ideally positioned for exploring the Dutch capital with a loved one. Pulitzer Amsterdam is within easy reach of the Rijksmuseum, Stedelijk Museum, the Van Gogh Museum and The Anne Frank House. The fashionable Nine Streets, the quaint shops of Jordaan, the flower market and the Royal Palace are also a short distance away.
