The weather is a little warmer, the sun is shining a little brighter, and the first signs of spring have well and truly sprung. For us here at the Amsterdam Hotel in London, that means only one thing; Easter is once again upon us.

Over the past several years, we’ve enjoyed welcoming a wealth of guests from across the UK and beyond as they descend upon the capital for a long weekend of fun, entertainment, and of course, sweet treats aplenty.

This year, we’re expecting to welcome even more guests than usual to our Earls Court accommodation, with all signs pointing to London as 2017’s most popular destination for Easter breaks.

What makes our beloved city such a hit for spring getaways? Here’s just five things London does better than anywhere else when it comes to celebrating Easter in a way that’s definitely too egg-citing to miss.

World Renowned Chocolatiers and Artisan Treats

Easter just wouldn’t be Easter without chocolate would it?

What’s even better, is that this is truly the one time of the year that those of us with a sweet tooth can really indulge in as many delicious treats as we can handle.

Where better to really spoil ourselves with some guilt-free indulgence than in some of the world’s most renowned chocolate shop? Luckily, you’ll find a number of which you’ll find just down the street from us.

A stone’s throw from our luxury hotel in Chelsea you’ll find Café Prestat, where a truly mouthwatering array of truffles are simply too good to resist. From there, head over to Kensington, where among the number of tantalising treats at Harrods, you’ll find goods from William Curley, one of London’s most celebrated master chocolatiers.

Venture a little further down, to Notting Hill, and you’ll find one of the capital’s newest outlets, Melt, where the delights are made fresh onsite each day, guaranteeing the best quality chocolate anywhere in the city.

Classic Easter Egg Hunts in Incredible Surroundings

Whilst truffles and chocolate bars -even of the high class, artisan variety- are all well and good, let’s be honest here, it’s Easter time, and that means Easter eggs.

London certainly hasn’t forgotten this, and celebrates the holiday every year with a number of popular Easter Egg Hunts, each one set in some of the city’s most scenic locations.

Among our favourite is are the ever-popular Cadbury/National Trust Easter egg hunts at Sutton house, and the wonderful Easter Moomin Chocolate Hunt at Kew Gardens.

Taking place on Easter Sunday, the Kew Gardens hunt will see children moving through an interactive and engaging trail, resplendent with newly bloomed flowers and learning about nature as they discover an array of chocolate surprises.

An Abundance of Family Friendly Activities…

Easter eggs hunts aren’t the only family-friendly adventures you and your young ones can enjoy when you visit London this Easter.

Just a short tube ride from Earls Court Station, you’ll find many of the capital’s top theatres running special Easter time performances especially for children, whilst a host of seasonal-themed activity sessions, workshops, and games are set to take place right across the city during Easter weekend.

…And Plenty for the Grown-Ups Too

So far, we may have focused on family-friendly events, but if the sole purpose of booking a hotel in London is to really get away from it all this Easter, there’s plenty in store for you, too.

From world class music and entertainment at the nearby Royal Albert Hall, to top theatre shows at the West End, spring themed menus at the city’s leading restaurants, plus all the attractions, entertainment, and iconic landmarks you’d expect to find on any visit to London, it’s all waiting for you this Easter.
