A London hotel thinks it may be offering the best Christmas present ever with an incredible opportunity to win a complete, fabulous Christmas celebration for 20 family and friends. It is the dramatic grade 2 listed curved staircase in the lobby that holds the key. To win you simply have to become a St Ermin's Hotel 'Stair Star' and upload a new or past photograph of yourself on their iconic, glamorous staircase to www.sterminshotel.co.uk/WIN – and be 'liked', a lot.

The St Ermin's Hotel in Westminster is offering a prize worth over £10,000 of two nights bed, breakfast and Christmas dinner by award winning chef Adam Handling for up to 20 guests from Christmas Eve to Boxing Day plus a thoroughly decorated private dining room and exclusive family lounge complete with tree and novelties. 

The competition is for anyone who takes a photograph of themselves – or has previously been photographed - on the hotel's Grade 2 listed curved staircase in the lobby. The photo needs to be uploaded onto the St Ermin's website - www.sterminshotel.co.uk/WIN - then family and friends need to 'like' and 'share' the photo as many times as possible. The most 'liked' / 'shared' photo by midnight, November 1st wins that family the prize.

 So if you've ever thought how lovely it would be to wake up on Christmas morning in the  heart of London with the bells of Westminster Abbey ringing out, take a stroll around Piccadilly before sauntering back across St James's Park for a Christmas cocktail and sumptuous family dinner … here's your chance. Just dig out those photographs or get snapping and you could be heading to the delightful St Ermin's Hotel for a dream Christmas to remember. www.sterminshotel.co.uk / @sterminshotel
