Varied UK hotels for every type of traveller 

The UK is steeped in culture and history with fantastic scenery to boot. From the buzzing atmosphere of cosmopolitan cities such as London to the laidback pastoral feel of countryside enclaves in the Welsh and Scottish countryside, there is just so much to explore. Thankfully UK hotels up and down the country are worth their salt and then some. Hotels in the United Kingdom range from boutique hotels wonderfully suited for romantic hotel breaks in the UK's most exciting cities to the classic B&Bs that families with kids love, all the way through to elegant spa hotels. In the United Kingdom's hotels, you're in good hands. 

Popular UK hotel getaway destinations 

From alternative culture hotspots such as Bristol to the fairytale landscapes of North Wales to the summer culture smorgasbord of the Edinburgh Fringe, the UK is a large and diverse country with much to uncover. Where to stay in the United Kingdom and how to get there largely depends on your travel plans. If you stick to London, you will find five airports in the direct vicinity of the capital. When planning a trip to Cornwall, the easiest option is often to take a plane to Bristol or Exeter Airport and rent your car from there. The north of the UK can be accessed thanks to the airports of Manchester and Leeds. Travelling around the country is easily done by car or by public transport. Top cities for UK hotel getaways include: 

  • London: The capital of the UK is home to some of its most well-known attractions as well as many top UK hotels. Popular day trips from London include the sunny beach town of Brighton, academically-renowned Cambridge, and the famous white cliffs of Dover
  • Cardiff: The Welsh capital is famous for its castles, harbour, and friendly locals. Cardiff is home to some of the best hotels in the United Kingdom and the bustling city of Bristol is located just a short drive away across the Severn Bridge. 
  • Edinburgh: The Scottish capital is one of the cultural beacons of the UK. The city is popular for hotel holidays in the UK and is home to many world-class museums, as well as the famous Fringe Festival where some of the best up-and-coming comedians come to cut their teeth every year. 
  • Belfast: The largest city in Northern Ireland is a fantastic base to explore the beautiful Northern Irish countryside. Road trip enthusiasts love the Causeway Coastal Route that connects Belfast to Londonderry

Find some of the best deals for UK hotels 

One of the keys to accessing great deals on UK hotel getaways with Expedia is to be flexible with your travel dates. The summer is often the busiest season to explore the UK and accommodation prices tend to reflect that. Hotel prices in some cities can be particularly steep over bank holiday weekends or when major events take place, such as the Notting Hill Carnival in London or Bristol Harbour Festival. 

To find deals for some of the best hotels in the United Kingdom make sure to look out for the green discount tab that sits above the price of the hotel. It indicates particularly good discounts on properties that are usually well-rated by fellow Expedia users.
