Popular places to stay in England
England is divided into 48 counties each with their unique character, quirks and even accents. Life could hardly be more different in deep rural Somerset and cosmopolitan London, yet there's a distinct air of Englishness that is instantly recognisable and that has won the hearts of travellers the world over. Top hotels in the UK are easily accessible thanks to the UK's network of international airports (London, Manchester, Birmingham and more). England can also be reached by ferry or Eurostar if you are visiting from mainland Europe. Some of the most popular places to stay include:
- Iconic London, famous for Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and countless other attractions. Catch a musical in the West End, immerse yourself in a world of culture in the British Museum, and enjoy some of the very best luxury hotels England has to offer.
- Vibrant Manchester, renowned for its incredible music scene, northern industrial grit and friendly locals. With Leeds and Liverpool just a short train ride away, Manchester is the gateway to the North West of England and its fantastic UK hotel deals.
- Funky Bristol, home of Banksy, Massive Attack and all things alternative. Small, hip and green, Bristol is a great base to explore the southwest of the UK and Wales, which are all within driving distance.
- Industrious Oxford, famed for its world-class university and thriving arts scene. Enjoy the quintessential British experience of rowing up a peaceful canal before enjoying a pint or 3 and a Ploughman's lunch in a typical countryside pub.
