Ever feel a bit hard done by when it comes to Valentine’s Day celebrations? Red Carnation Hotels has curated some unique experiences for those looking for something out of the ordinary this Valentine’s day.

We’ve looked into some of the most extravagantly delightful ways to say ‘I love you’ this Valentine’s Day. 

A private visit from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

Concerts don’t get any more captivating – or intimate – than this. If you’re staying at the Milestone Hotel, a select ensemble from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra will perform exclusively for you and your partner in the comfort and luxury of your suite. 

The Milestone Hotel overlooks London’s royal residence, Kensington Palace – can you imagine a more romantic setting or a more elaborate experience than this? 

And, you get to select the songs the musicians play, so that you’re assured that ‘your’ song is part of the playlist. You can choose to be serenaded by a string trio or a solo harpist, depending on your preference. 

A private mixologist masterclass this Valentine’s Day

Guests at The Egerton House Hotel can experience the entertainment and education of an expert mixologist. 

Once you have learnt the history and origins of a martini, you learn how to create your own. While sipping on your creation, you can indulge in some homemade canapés. 

The evening ends with the presentation of a certificate, celebrating your new status as a mixologist extraordinaire. 

A night under the stars, in 5-star luxury

Imagine a Valentine’s Day in London’s most romantic suite. At Hotel 41’s Conservatory Suite, you can spend an unforgettable evening staring at the stars through the glass roof of the penthouse suite. 

The suite comes equipped with a telescope, as well as delicious food to keep you satiated while you spot constellations. 

For the ultimate Valentine’s Day extravagance, this night includes an opportunity for you to name a star, as well as an astronomy star book and a flight of Champagne. 

Each of these experiences is available at Red Carnation hotels in London.
