Easter  2016 is nearly upon us, bringing with it the first signs of spring, plenty of cute bunny rabbits, and of course, chocolate, chocolate and yes, more chocolate.

Excited? Here at the Amsterdam Hotel in Earls Court, we certainly are, and not just because we’re expecting a visit from Easter Bunny.Nope, the real reason we’re looking forward to it is because it’s the first opportunity we’ll have to welcome many of you to our hotel.

Taking place from Friday March 25th – Monday March 28th, the first Bank Holiday of the year provides the perfect excuse to get away and finally take a much deserved break after a long, cold winter. And whilst we admit, you could choose to go anywhere for your city break this March, here’s just five reasons to spend Spend Easter 2016 in Kensington and Chelsea.

Take part in the famous Kensington Egg Hunt

Each and every spring, the Easter Bunny makes his way around Kensington Palace, leaving tonnes of tasty treats hidden around the palace and it’s illustrious gardens. If you’re in town this March Bank Holiday, your job is to take the kids along, grab a basket, and head out in search of those missing eggs.

Live performances, crafts and more are all included in the fun too, so there’s always plenty to enjoy.

Taste the best chocolate in London

Take a short walk from the Amsterdam Hotel near Kensington and Chelsea and you’ll soon be surrounded by some of London’s biggest department stores and the most unique boutiques in the capital, many of whom have something extra special to offer when it comes to those delicious Easter treats. This is of course, the home of the Hotel Chocolat, makers of the famous Easter Egg sandwhich and the deluxe Rocky Road Extra Thick Easter Egg. Doesn’t that just make your mouth water?

Sip on Easter cocktails at the Kensington Roof Gardens

The palace isn’t the only place you’ll find an easter egg hunt this year, as the famous roof gardens host a version of their own. Whilst the kids are doing that, the big kids can relax in the beautiful surroundings sipping specially made choc-tails and getting stuck into a delicious Easter-themed meal.

Greet the arrival of spring, German style

For something completely different this March bank holiday, you can certainly do worse than heading down to Alexandra Palace for the UK’s biggest celebration of Springfest.

Each year, the traditional German festival brings a live Oompah band, bundles of bratwurst and lashings of Bavarian beer, meaning spirits are likely to be high all weekend long.

Relax, unwind, escape.

Of course, there’s nothing to say that you have to go all out binging on good food and drink this Easter. For many people, this truly is a time to put the winter months behind them, relax, and prepare for the warmer months ahead.

If you’re looking to simply get away from it all over the bank holiday weekend, you’ll find everything you need just a short distance from Kensington and Chelsea at our hotel on Earls Court road.

Warm, comfortable beds, luxurious bathrooms, and close proximity to top restaurants and night spots are all included in prices that come far less than you might expect for a London hotel.
