Hotels

Family travelers to London and in search of holidays happenings will find them at Pan Pacific London, ready to dazzle with its seasonal lineup.

 

Through Jan. 4, 2026, every detail at Pan Pacific London has been thoughtfully crafted to create a magical escape for families. On Nov. 16, the hotel lights up London’s tallest Christmas tree, soaring 67 feet high with 100,000-plus LED twinkling lights and extra-large snowflakes. The tree will also boast a giant, nearly 33-foot wreath, which rivals Tokyo’s Guinness World Record for the world’s largest artificial wreath. Every hour during London’s morning and evening commutes, the tree comes alive with twinkling, flashing, dancing and seasonal music.

 

Here’s a look at what else is on offer:
