Christmas at Haymarket Hotel
There’s nothing quite like the West End at Christmas – from the soaring lights of Regent Street to the beautifully decorated arcades of St. James's – and Haymarket Hotel is right in the heart of things. From festive parties to Christmas dining, our boutique hotel comes to life during the season, offering special moments for all to enjoy. This year, we're inviting you to experience 'A Very London Christmas': three spectacular days jam-packed with joyful festivities for children and adults alike.

Surrounded by the dazzling displays and iconic landmarks that fill the West End, discover your London home for the holidays at Haymarket Hotel.
Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve sets the tone for a truly unforgettable stay. Children can delight in festive film screenings by the indoor pool and gingerbread decorating with our talented pastry chef, before laying out their stockings and treats for Father Christmas and Rudolph. For adults, the festivities begin with cocktails, canapés and joyful live jazz in Brumus Bar.
