Visitors to London have no lack of good reasons to visit the city over the Christmas and New Year period – and no lack of superb luxury hotels too.However, if there is one place that really hits the sweet spot in winter, it is the Dorsett Shepherds Bush.

The hotel is located in the middle of the Shepherds Bush area of the capital and is in a perfect location at this time of year. It is adjacent to the Westfield Shopping Centre, which is perfect for Christmas shopping and then the sales.At the same time, with so many other shopping destinations to enjoy in the capital, such as Harrods, Oxford Street and London’s various markets, the access the hotel offers to public transport is extremely convenient. Shepherds Bush has underground stations on the Hammersmith and City and Circle lines (Shepherds Bush Market station) and on the Central line, with the latter also served by London Overground. With these lines interchanging with various others across central London, getting to any shopping destination or tourist attraction is eminently manageable.  Of course, getting around is only part of the equation.

The hotel itself offers some superb facilities for guests. After a busy day in London you can have a good workout in the gym, or head for a relaxing time in the spa, which is located on the top floor and includes four treatment rooms, a sauna and steam room and a relaxation lounge.Relaxation is the name of the game at the Dorsett. The Dorsett Lounge is located on the ground floor and acts as a fine facility for guests staying in the executive rooms. With complimentary refreshments, wireless internet and other perks available all day, this is a place to unwind, or use as a temporary office.Of course, many will come to the hotel for business and there are several plush meeting rooms with all the communication facilities needed.   With so many great aspects to it, the Dorsett is truly a great winter hotel.
