Getting ready for your London honeymoon? Here are a few locales that are worth the jaunt. Even if the U.K. isn’t on your agenda, why not consider a stopover at this hub that can offer a splendid time.

Mayfair Townhouse

The swanky Mayfair Townhouse, located on Half Moon Street (the setting for Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest) is a boutique hotel donning a modern, playful interior buoyed by attentive service. Chic on its own and by its literary association, its 172 rooms are both handsome and flamboyant. The hotel’s eatery and spirits offerings are from the Dandy Bar. Its posh dining room has the feel of a private club, with cushy banquettes and club chairs. The menu of inspired sharables and casual fare is the anchor for ambitious, creative beverages.

Cliveden House

Venture out of London to the countryside and enjoy a proper afternoon tea or overnight at Cliveden House, a historic manor, built in 1666, that has a rich and storied past to explore. This five-star chateau holds the modern-day distinction of having been the wedding-eve accommodations for the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle. Finely appointed quarters, pristine Italian-style gardens, a luxurious spa, and world-class cuisine have earned this property a top hotel distinction: Relais & Châteaux membership.

11 Cadogan Gardens

In one of London’s most sought-after neighborhoods is 11 Cadogan Gardens, the city’s only in-town Relais & Châteaux-crowned property. It boasts 56 rooms and suites with individually curated interiors that showcase contemporary and classic European style. Visit Hans’ Bar & Grill, the all-day dining room, for traditional British dishes and cocktails.
