Many of these dazzling displays are just a stroll or quick Tube ride from Montcalm Collection hotels & townhouses. Montcalm Mayfair, perfectly placed on the cusp of Park Lane, sits within easy reach of Hyde Park, Oxford Street, and Marylebone Village – so you can soak up the sparkle and be back in the comforts of your room in no time, no sleigh required.
There’s something truly magical about watching London’s familiar streets transform into glittering theatres of light, rekindling the childlike wonder we once felt discovering tiny stars in the dark. As we stroll beneath them, hearts full of gratitude and hope, the city seems to whisper a gentle reminder to cherish our blessings and look ahead to the new year with warmth and optimism.
Travel Tips
Montcalm Collection hotels & townhouses are situated in the heart of London’s culture and commerce. The Mayfair properties are within a 30-minute walk of the city’s iconic Christmas light switch-ons, while the rest of the collection is just a short tube ride away.
