A five-star boutique hotel in the City of London, room-only. "This beautifully converted banking hall was built in 1856," says Kathy Maxwell of Lastminute.com. "It's perfectly situated for romantic walks along the Thames and, with luxurious dinners to be had in the stained-glass atrium, it should certainly impress your Valentine."
