Want to do something different for Christmas? Feel like pushing the boat out?
The Sanborn Yacht Hotel in London is exactly what you need.
Enjoy Christmas with a view from Sanborn’s terraceBritain’s only luxury superyacht hotel, anchored at Royal Victoria Dock, has announced its holiday offering, with its decks lavishly decked out in holly and ivy.
Boarding the mega-yacht is not via the pier as you might expect, but rather via a vast golden staircase to the sky (or is it the stern?) and past a very impressive chandelier to the upper level. Go up to The restaurant, cocktail bar and gin bar offer first-class views of the London skyline while you sip a drink.
A super yacht hotel full of luxuryBuilt in Finland, the ship has a classic design, and all 136 bedrooms are generously sized and equipped with flat-screen TVs, all the digital wizardry, Wi-Fi, and more.
Four suites have private saunas, perfect for relaxing after a busy non-sailor’s day.
As you know, yachts don’t really go anywhere, so seasickness is not an issue for all but the most sensitive people.
