Keep it classic with a night at The Berkeley
You know you’ve made it as a couple when you’re checking in for a Valentine’s Day overnighter and there’s two bathrobes monogrammed with your initials hanging there. Yes, this is how The Berkeley works its magic for the Saint of love.
If that wasn’t enough of a deal-breaker, you’ll also receive the essential champagne, dark chocolate strawberries and flowers in your room. As well as breakfast in bed and the luxury of a late 2pm checkout. Divine.
