The sexiest hotel rooms in London to book for a last-minute Valentine’s stay

Bookish types will swoon at the chance to stay at this literary stalwart in Soho, the former home of 18th-century essayist William Hazlitt. Plush carpets, antiques, gilded oil paintings and plenty of signed reads from well-known authors set the scene in the cosy communal spaces, before you ascend to the eye catching pink-painted Superior Double — complete with its own literary collection, sink-in leather chairs and a rolltop bath. Other Superior Doubles come splashed in brooding, coddling greys, greens or blues, with old fireplaces and dark wood four-posters as your backdrop for amour.
