Christmas is around the corner, and what better place to celebrate and stimulate your festive shopping appetite than in London�s classically chic Chelsea. The hotel gem of the Sloane Square set, San Domenico House, has launched its Christmas shopping package, offering even more reason to experience London at its cheerful best.

As we approach the merry season, mulled wine, mistletoe and magical gifts come to mind. Shopping for friends, family and loved ones is always fun, and there�s no where quite like Chelsea to find that perfect present (or two) to inspire the �wow� in us.

This Christmas, San Domenico House is offering couples and families a uniquely chic festive package. The Hotel has teamed up with local retailer the General Trading Company (GTC); offering guests up to 30% discount to shop at GTC before 09 January 2010.

Found in Sloane Square, just a two minute stroll from the Hotel, The GTC is a British icon, founded in 1920 and holder of three Royal Warrants. The focus is on selling unique products from small, independent designers and businesses. Here, guests will find an eclectic mix of gift ideas, ranging from furniture and bathroom merchandise, to clothing, children�s toys, jewellery, stationary and beauty products.

With its beautifully Italian d�cor and sumptuous atmosphere, the San Domenico House �Christmas for Couples� shopping package includes three nights accommodation for �800 which includes a discount voucher to shop at The GTC; a room upgrade, daily Continental breakfast, late check out, a site-seeing tour of London and an afternoon tea for two.

The �Christmas for Families� shopping package includes two rooms for three nights for �760 per room, which includes a discount voucher to shop at The GTC, a room upgrade, daily Continental breakfast, late check out, a site-seeing tour of London and one afternoon tea for four people at the Hotel.

Whilst in London, guests can take advantage of the many festive activities in the City. Located all over London, ice rinks stay open late into the evening, and many host shows and on-ice pantomimes. Trafalgar Square is another key location with its 20 metre Norwegian Christmas tree and spectacular lights.

If being indoors (and warm) is more appealing, take a look at one of London�s theatres to see a traditional Christmas pantomime, or visit one of the many pubs offering warming, festive food and of course, mulled wine. The young ones won�t miss out either as Santa will be making appearances at Selfridges, Harrods and Hamleys.

The Concierge at San Domenico House can assist with additional guest activities and requirements. For more information, contact the Hotel on 020 7581 5757 or book one of the Christmas packages online at www.sandomenicohouse.co.uk
