The Best Luxury Christmas Finishing Touches

With Christmas around the corner, the number of things to think about may seem endless. Eventually, though, you arrive at the finishing touches. Those little extras that elevate the celebration from sleigh ride to winter wonderland. If there ever was a time of year to make that extra luxury effort, it’s now. So what are the best luxury Christmas finishing touches that will make the difference for your season this year? 

Decor

Whether you’re a keen festive decorator who cracks open the decs in November, or you prefer to save it to Christmas Eve, a touch of luxury in your decor goes a long way. 

• Candlelight
  White pillar candles are always festive, and create a wonderfully opulent atmospheric lighting. They’re a simple and classic finishing touch for Christmas.
• Greenery
  Bring the outdoors in with some fresh greenery. From festive branches and garlands to potted poinsettia, keep it simple and your arboreal finishing touch will give you a fresh and comforting ambience. 
• Scents
  Spices and citrus are the background scents that will make either your home or a luxury serviced apartment feel truly festive. A clove studded orange or cinnamon stick are easy and natural ways to build the atmosphere.

Dining

Choose the pick of London restaurants for your festive luxury dining. If you’re staying in a luxury serviced apartment in any location across the city, you’ll be within a stone’s throw from delectable dining. 

• Mayfair
  Céleste at The Lanesborough 
  As well as the “Festive Menu du Jour” and “Peggy Porschen Festive Afternoon Tea” Céleste are hosting grand New Years events. Even just a visit for Christmas cocktails will make the most of the festive indulgence that is on display here.
• Kensington
  Launceston Place 
  The festive tasting menu at Launceston Place features turbot and venison. With its commitments to seasonality and sustainability, you can be sure of the freshest dining experience. A hidden gem of Kensington.
• Fitzrovia
  Berners Tavern
  The ambience at Berners Tavern is ideally placed for Christmas, as it’s historic, opulent and glamorous. Michelin-starred chef Jason Atherton has constructed a one off Christmas menu that is seasonal and a surprise!

Hosting a festive reception is the perfect occasion for an extra dash of luxury. Done well, both you and your guests will enjoy the relaxation and festive joy of adding finishing touches to your entertaining.

Experiences

Choose some select events to keep the Christmas spirit running high. London is a beautiful city at this time of year, with plenty of festive luxury in its offering.
