Cupid in the Sky at Shangri-La The Shard

ROMANCE reaches new heights if Valentine’s Day is celebrated by ascending 306m to levels 34-52 of The Shard.

The night could be spent here in a room or suite, with a bouquet of flowers, rose petals and a bottle of Champagne awaiting your arrival, and breakfast either in-room or at TING restaurant. For a restaurant visit alone, TING has a Valentine Day’s four-course menu on the 14^th or 15^th February.

Three levels below, the highest hotel bar in Western Europe, GŎNG, is another tempting proposition with a sharing menu of delectable bites. Or, for an afternoon romantic rendezvous, there is Love is in the Air afternoon tea in collaboration with Jo Loves and including the signature Shard dessert with Valrhona Dulce chocolate.
