Twinkling lights and the scent of pine needles: for some, it’s pure nostalgia; for others, it’s the signal to pack their bags and head for the sun. Whether you’re dreaming of a thick blanket of snow or a cocktail under a palm tree, at Caractère we celebrate Christmas exactly the way you want to. From the magical Northern Lights in Lapland to Thai temples or a trendy city break nearby, we’ll organise the trip you normally only see in films.
Romance by a crackling fire or in the sunshine
Getting away together over the festive season is always a good idea. Can you picture it? A cosy chalet in the Swiss Alps, where the snow gently taps against the windows whilst inside the open fire (and the cheese fondue) crackles. Not a fan of the cold? In Andalusia, swap your thick scarf for a terrace and the best tapas under the winter sun. And for those who really want to get away from it all: in Thailand you can celebrate Christmas with your feet in the sand and a sunset that no Christmas card could ever match.
An unforgettable Christmas holiday with the whole family
For families, the Christmas holidays are the perfect time for a dose of magic. London in December is one big film set: ice skating in the city, hot chocolate in Covent Garden and rounding off the evening with a musical in the West End. Fancy something even more spectacular? Then Lapland is the ultimate bucket list destination. Think husky safaris, reindeer and, with a bit of luck, that incredible green Northern Lights.
At Caractère, we have a healthy aversion to run-of-the-mill hotels. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions, certainly not during the festive season. That’s why we prefer places that are just as unique as your own Christmas traditions. After all, a holiday stands or falls on the place where you kick off your shoes in the evening and reflect on the day.
A Christmas adventure tailored to you
Whether you choose an authentic chalet high in the mountains where the scent of a crackling fire welcomes you, a characterful boutique hotel in the heart of the festive city bustle, or a small-scale resort on a tropical bay: we seek out locations that truly make an impression. These are the kind of special places where you’re not just a room number, but where you walk in and immediately feel that every detail is just right. From the personal welcome to the carefully chosen décor.Whoever you're celebrating Christmas with, Caractère promises a Christmas holiday filled with comfort and style.
