1 Valentine's Day - The Battered Black Book

Valentine’s Day

‘Love is in the air…’ and it’s palpable! With Valentine’s-mania hitting new heights, choosing the perfectly pitched gift or excellently crafted experience needs a bit more thought than simply typing notonthehighstreet or Cartier into Google. Fear not, the BBB team has sat down over a martini (of course) and come up with a fail-safe plan for the perfect Valentine’s Day.

 

Dine Out


In search of a truly incredible culinary experience that is guaranteed to get that special someone’s taste buds tingling? Look no further than Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester – a rare jewel of a restaurant with no less than an epic three Michelin Stars to its name. For the ultimate romantic backdrop, book the stunning Table Lumière, a private ‘room’, encircled by 4,500 shimmering fibre optics, dropping dramatically from the ceiling.

Show Some Sparkle


We all know diamonds are a girl’s (and guy’s!) best friend, so you really can’t go wrong with a piece of jewellery, especially when it’s from brothers GUY&MAX Shepherd’s exceptional collection. This award-winning duo has earned acclaim for their super-fine and minimal diamond pieces featured in the renowned birdcage collection – inspired by the chassis of the iconic Maserati racing car. Not just one for the ladies, make your man’s heart flutter with a pair of 18ct gold paper aeroplane cufflinks, originally designed for Max’s best men (or wing men) on his wedding day.

Pull An All-Nighter


Extend Valentine’s Day by treating your significant other to a stay in London’s most unique hotel experience, ROOM – a striking sculpture, designed by Anthony Gormley, perched on the southern wing of The Beaumont, like a pixelated Buddha meditating over Mayfair. Initially approached through one of the hotel’s more traditional suites, ROOM is everything but your average hotel experience – try to imagine a 10-metre high asymmetric chamber encased in Black Forest Oak, with only a shaft of natural light entering through a small shutter. Oh, and the only furniture? Simply the most heavenly king-sized bed of your dreams. 

Of course, if you prefer your bedrooms more orthodox, the hotel has numerous other beautifully appointed suites and rooms available, all fitted out in an effortlessly elegant art deco style.

Home Is Where The Heart Is


With Valentine’s Day falling on a weekend, it’s the perfect opportunity to arrange a romantic get-away, and what better than having the intimacy and privacy of your own home from home. Known as the ‘unhotel’, onefinestay offers guests the chance to experience living in the finest homes in London, New York, Paris and Los Angeles, when the owners are out of town. Think, amazing Californian townhouses, quintessential New York lofts and sophisticated London penthouses, all decked out with the comforts of home and all the luxuries you would expect from a 5* hotel.
