Floating hotels worldwide for a truly magical escape
Opened in January 2019, this handsome ship is in fact a beautiful 23-room floating hotel, permanently docked in historic Leith in Edinburgh. Once a Northern Lighthouse Board ship, it was revamped by the team at The Royal Yacht Britannia
Once inside it hardly feels like you're on a boat at all. Bedrooms are elegant, with king-size beds, smart TVs and rain showers in the bathrooms.
You can feel good about staying in this floating hotel. The Good Hotel in east London's Royal Victoria Docks is more than just a Thames-side accommodation option. The hotel is also a social-good project, hiring and training unemployed locals.
And just because it's all about giving back doesn't mean it can't feel special. Pared-back luxury is the theme here, with neutral tones complementing the river vistas and an industrial-chic design throughout.
If you're not rich enough to own a super yacht, Sunborn is here for you. Get the full luxury yacht experience on board this floating hotel on the Thames in London's Docklands area.
There's even an onboard spa, where you can enjoy aromatherapy and skincare treatments, while afternoon tea is served in the restaurant for a traditional British experience.
Set in the wilds of northern Norway, at the base of the Svartisen glacier, this hotel is held up for its green credentials. When it opens in 2024 (after being delayed in 2022), it's set to be the world's first 'energy-positive' hotel
