Christmas Venue Reviews To Help When Choosing The Perfect Winter Break

Christmas should be a time to relax and reflect.It's an opportunity to step back from the pressures and stresses of modern life and enjoy some time away from work.Because more people are working longer hours, taking less holiday time and rarely taking adequate breaks throughout the rest of the year, Christmas has become the only real time that some people get to unwind and do something completely different.With this in mind many people are choosing to spend the break at a hotel.

Most venue reviews now include details of Christmas menus and facilities because the market for Christmas weekend or short breaks has increased so much in recent years.People, especially working professionals, are looking to get away from the day to day grind of work without having to do housework, cooking, cleaning and the other domestic chores that they inevitably get drawn into when spending time at home.

There are plenty of options when considering a Christmas break.Most hotels and venues that operate all year round have now seen how lucrative the market is around Christmas breaks and have acted accordingly.So now you can not only go for a meal, you can take part in themed weekends, outdoor pursuits be entertained at concerts and live events or simply have a relaxing spa or health break.

Here are three Christmas venue reviews to illustrate what is available if you're considering a break this Christmas.

Charing Cross Hotel, London - The Charing Cross Hotel screams style and sophistication.A recent refurbishment has added to the sense of glamour without taking away the feeling that you are somewhere steeped in history.The individualism that makes a place special in the minds of visitors is also still present with architectural features still present and liveried staff on hand to meet and greet you.

The whole hotel has a grandness to it that is so often missing with modern buildings and its location next to the station reminds you that many famous and important people have crossed its threshold and stayed in its rooms.The restaurant and bar have views across the Strand towards Trafalgar Square which provides a perfect backdrop to a relaxing Christmas break.

Coombe Abbey, Nr Coventry - Coombe Abbey is steeped in history.This former 12th century Cistercian Abbey has been lovingly restored while at the same time adding all the modern features and facilities that you'd expect from a venue.Set in 500 acres of parkland the location is perfect for a winter walk through forests and beautifully kept gardens.

All year round the venue is host to exciting and innovative entertainment.There are regular themed banquets and even murder weekends.The Christmas Carol event has become a regular and very special feature in the calendar.The rooms have a royal grandeur to them and this sense of importance and splendor is reflected in the hotel menu.Coombe Abbey is also ideally located in the heart of Warwickshire and places like Stratford upon Avon and Warwick Castle are both nearby.

The Met, Leeds - Located in the heart of a revitalized and vibrant Leeds City centre, The Met is one of the best hotels in Yorkshire.After a six million pound refurbishment the grade II listed building has been transformed into a top class hotel with modern facilities and offers a top class dining experience to visitors.The new Tempus Bar at the hotel is an ideal place to relax and celebrate Christmas with a glass of something sparkling.
