Sometimes, especially if you’ve a busy schedule taking a whole weekend away from work is difficult. So you take the laptop with you and hope for good hotel broadband…

Book a 5* Hotel and get a free upgrade

Friday, Saturday and Sunday overnight stays you can book the 5* Andaz Hotel by Hyatt and receive a free upgrade to a King size room. The Andaz is a mix of Victorian opulence and state-of-the-art technology. The Andaz was the old Great Eastern building near Liverpool St station and it’s been very stylishly updated.

Your upgraded King room is 29-sq.-metre. It features a plush king bed, oversized work desk and bath with ecologically friendly shower, fast-fill tub and hot towel rail, air conditioning, and a gorgeous modern design. Enjoy complimentary amenities such as healthy mini-bar, local phone calls, wired and wireless Internet access, iPod dock and the luxury of yukata robes.

You might think this sort of luxury would be horribly expensive and normally you’d be right! To stay one Friday night in June at full price would cost you £270!

But book it as a hotel deal as part of a theatre break and prices start from just £92 per person including your show ticket (one night stay plus tickets for Woman in Black – many other great shows and musicals also available )

I often see this hotel as I walk out from Liverpool St Station and it looks so inviting. It would be a great place to stay for a weekend theatre break and what with the desk and the great connectivity one of you might even get some work done!

Personally, if I stayed Saturday night I’d be off down to the nearby Columbia Rd Flower Market next morning. You can often find me there on summer Sunday mornings browsing through all the gorgeous shabby chic garden accessories, drinking in the atmosphere (and the great coffee!) and even buying the occasional plant.

If I can’t stagger down to the flower market there’s always the very trendy, recently totally refurbished Spitalfields Market just across the road from Liverpool St Station. It’s lovely down there on a Sunday morning with a real buzz, lots of unique craft and fashion, some ‘antique’ or vintage stalls and some interesting shops. There are some nice places to lunch there too.

Of course you might never make it out of the luxury of that wonderful king sized room… and that’s good too!
