Why Stay With Wilde This Christmas

Wilde puts you right in the heart of the festivities, with central locations close to each city's Christmas markets and top festive attractions. Better yet, we take bookings for events, complete with festive menus and drinks to match, making us the perfect place to host your Christmas party, dinner or celebration this year.

Our spacious, design-led aparthotels are ideal for families or groups travelling together over the holidays, giving everyone room to spread out and unwind. And with fully equipped kitchens alongside hotel-style service, you get all the flexibility of home comforts with none of the compromise. Best of all, once the celebrations wind down, home is just upstairs – book your event, and stay the night with us.

Our Properties This Christmas

Amsterdam

Winter in Amsterdam is like nowhere else – the canals take on a quiet, twinkling magic all their own, fairy lights strung along the water and cosy cafés glowing warm against the cold. Wilde Amsterdam requires a minimum stay of 7 nights, so it's made for settling in rather than rushing through, giving you plenty of time to soak up the season at your own pace. Set in the up-and-coming Noord district, just across the IJ River from the city centre, it's easy to combine a relaxed stay with festive wanders through Dam Square's markets, mulled wine in hand, and still have days to spare for exploring further afield. Settle back into your apartment afterwards, kitchen stocked and ready, for a Christmas that feels properly at home.

Cambridge

For a Christmas that feels like something out of a storybook, Cambridge is hard to beat. Gothic spires dusted with frost, festive markets along the cobbled streets, and candlelit carol services in centuries-old college chapels make this one of England's most atmospheric places to spend the season. Wilde Cambridge sits right in the heart of the city centre, putting you within easy walking distance of it all — and downstairs, Oscar's offers a cosy corner of its own, with rich woods and brushed brass setting the scene for festive drinks, a shared cheese board, or a proper catch-up with friends and family after a day in the cold. Also available for group bookings, Oscar's is perfect for gathering a bigger crowd this Christmas! It can be booked exclusively for your own festive dinner or drinks.

Ideal for a cosy, classic Christmas getaway. Ready to experience a Cambridge Christmas for yourself? Book your stay here.

Lisbon

If you'd rather trade freezing temperatures for something a little gentler, Lisbon makes a wonderful winter escape. While much of Europe shivers, Lisbon typically enjoys milder days throughout December, so you can still browse festive markets and twinkling lights without needing to bundle up quite so much. Wilde Lisbon sits just north of the vibrant centre, close to the Baixa and Chiado districts, where golden sunsets and pastel-hued streets bring their own kind of festive glow.

Downstairs, Oscar's opens onto a beautiful internal courtyard, complete with a gentle waterfall feature and striking blue tiling — a lovely spot for evening drinks or a relaxed festive gathering, whatever the weather's doing outside. The courtyard can also be booked for larger groups, making it an easy choice for a private Christmas gathering with friends, family or colleagues.

London

Come December, London does festive like nowhere else, and Wilde puts you right in the thick of it. Our four London aparthotels — Aldgate Tower Bridge, Liverpool Street, Paddington and Covent Garden — sit just minutes from the city's best Christmas markets, from Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park to the seasonal stalls dotted through Covent Garden's piazza and Spitalfields' twinkling lanes near Liverpool Street.

At Wilde Liverpool Street, Oscar's is the perfect spot to host all kinds of festive activities, whether that's a cosy gathering with friends and family or a full Christmas corporate event, complete with expertly crafted cocktails and comfort food to match. Group bookings are available too, so whether it's an office party or a family get-together, we'll help you plan an evening to remember. Wander home through streets strung with fairy lights and shop windows dressed for the season, then unwind in one of our beautifully designed apartments, each one bringing its own festive warmth for the winter months.

Whichever corner of London you choose to call home this Christmas, you're never far from the magic. Ready to plan your festive itinerary? Our London guide has you covered: A Festive Adventure Through London's Best Christmas Markets.

Porto

For a Christmas with a little more warmth in the air, Porto is the perfect pick. With noticeably milder winters than much of Northern Europe, it's an easy spot to enjoy festive lights, riverside strolls and a glass of port without the biting cold. Wilde Porto sits right in the city's beating heart, close to the buzzing cafés and nightlife of Rua das Galerias de Paris, making it easy to soak up the season at a slower, sunnier pace.

When it's time to unwind, O's Below serves up elevated bar snacks and Porto wines by the glass, in a space that's just as good for a quiet catch-up as it is for gathering the whole family together. Both O's Below and O's Above can be booked for private groups, so whether you're after an intimate dinner or drinks with a view, we can help bring your Christmas gathering to life. If you're after a refreshing outdoor drink with a view, head up to O's Above, the rooftop bar where you can watch Porto's Christmas lights twinkle across the city skyline.

Vienna

Vienna is where Christmas markets started, and the city still does them better than almost anywhere else, with grand squares transformed into glittering wonderlands of mulled wine, roasted chestnuts and handcrafted gifts. Wilde Vienna sits at the heart of it all, inside a landmark building with over 300 years of history, putting you just steps from the magic.

When the markets close for the night, retreat to your apartment upstairs, or gather with friends and family in the spectacular Dominikanerhof courtyard, an unforgettable setting for private Christmas parties framed by centuries-old architecture and festive lighting. The courtyard is available for exclusive hire, making it a showstopping choice for larger celebrations. And whether it's an intimate dinner or a full celebration you're after, Rascal, our contemporary brasserie, brings the perfect seasonal menu to any Christmas gathering, whether with friends, family or colleagues. Rascal can also be booked exclusively, so if you're planning a private Christmas dinner or party, our team will help tailor every detail.
