Sloaney Getaways: Treat someone special and enjoy one of the world’s first environmentally conscious luxury hotels

If you are looking to spoil someone special with a luxury night in one of London’s hidden secrets, look no further than Hotel Rafayel. Located near to the city’s Heliport, this hotel is off the beaten track but offers spacious and contemporary rooms, with truly stunning views that overlook the River Thames.

Designed by architect James Burland, the hotel is encased within a unique and critically acclaimed steal, glass and timber building. Rafayel is one of the world’s first environmentally conscious luxury hotels and embraces cutting edge green technologies in order to minimise any impact on the environment.

Features such as LED lights and rainwater harvesting enable the hotel to reduce the carbon footprint of any guest by as much 20%. The eco-friendly policy does not compromise on quality, comfort or the exquisite service provided by staff.

The hotel has an opulent feel and the rooms are decadent, yet slick. A champagne bar overlooks the river and shares a similar calm and tranquil atmosphere that you experience in the spa. Tri-Enzyme is the premier facial treatment and offers a ground-breaking technique that resurfaces and smoothes skin. You can currently avail of a 50% discount on many of the treatments on the extensive spa menu. 

Special rates also mean you can indulge in a luxurious stay at a lower price than expected and although this hotel is tucked away from Central London, it is well worth a visit for a peaceful romantic evening.
