                  • Central setting

                  The Adelphi Hotel’s one of the most iconic buildings in Liverpool. The hotel opened in 1862 and survived World War II unscathed. Over the years, it’s hosted famous guests like Winston Churchill, Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan and Judy Garland. Now, it’s been given Grade II listed status.

                  You’ll still see Edwardian features throughout, including grand sweeping staircases. But it’s been given modern touch-ups, too. There are two restaurants – one dealing in buffet breakfasts, lunch and dinner, and another French place with its own cocktail bar. And not one, but three bars keep punters watered. The American Bar’s a top spot for a cheeky nightcap before bed, while Wave Bar is the hotel’s entertainment hub, with live musicians, quiz nights, karaoke and sport screenings.

                  All this is just a couple of minutes’ walk from Liverpool Lime Street Train Station. It’s a 10-minute stroll over to the iconic Cavern Club for live music and a boogie. Or 20 minutes’ walk will get you to the Royal Albert Dock for the Beatles museum and the Tate.

                                          Swap the sofa for a European city break

                                          There’s a lot to be said for staying in and watching telly, but drinking mulled wine in a brand-new country is definitely better. A quick European city break is the absolute best cure for the seasonal blues. You could be wrapping up warm and eating your body weight in pastries on a Paris weekend, or scoping out the best beer halls in Berlin. If you’re feeling festive, Prague and Vienna go absolutely massive on the Christmas markets. If you’re looking to ring in New Year's Eve somewhere different, Amsterdam puts on a ridiculous fireworks display. Plus, booking your winter break late actually works in your favour. Less planning, more packing, and proper savings.

                                          Chasing that last minute winter sun

                                          Who made the rule that you can only get a tan in July? Bin off the thermals and grab your sunglasses, because catching some last minute winter sun is a top-tier life move. For a short-haul blast of vitamin D, the Canary Islands are basically cheating the seasons. Places like Tenerife and Lanzarote sit comfortably in the twenties all winter long, making them dead easy winter holiday destinations when you just need to thaw out.

                                          Want to go further afield? Long-haul spots are where things get seriously toasty. Dubai hits the high twenties with zero chance of drizzle, while Cancun and the Maldives are practically showing off with their weather.

                                          Keep it local with a UK winter escape

                                          You don't always need a passport to escape the daily grind. Sometimes the best winter trips are right on your doorstep. If you fancy a proper city stomp, London is glowing this time of year with festive lights, ice rinks, and enough cosy pubs to lose a whole weekend in. Up north, Edinburgh completely takes over the winter game. It's brilliant if you’re heading up for Hogmanay or just want to wander around the Royal Mile feeling like you're in a movie. But if your idea of a perfect trip involves zero crowds, a chunky knit jumper, and an open fire, a rural retreat is the way to go. Hide away in the Lake District or the Cotswolds, where you can spend your days doing brisk countryside walks before rewarding yourself with a massive roast dinner. Find a cheeky hotel deal, pack your thickest socks, and you're sorted.

                                          Your winter holiday questions answered

                                          Where is hot and cheap in December?

                                          December doesn't have to drain your bank account just because you want to be warm. If you're after serious value and decent temperatures, Egypt is a massive winner. Resorts in Sharm el-Sheikh and Hurghada give you brilliant Red Sea beaches and temperatures hovering around 23°C, all for a fraction of what you'd pay elsewhere. Closer to home, Benidorm and the Costa del Sol in Spain might not be boiling, but they are incredibly cheap, usually sunny, and miles better than freezing back in the UK.

                                          Where is hot in January?

                                          January is officially the gloomiest month, so escaping it is just good sense. For guaranteed t-shirt weather, you need to look slightly further afield. Cape Town in South Africa is right in the middle of its summer, serving up 26°C heat, brilliant beaches, and top-tier wine. If you want a shorter flight, the Cape Verde islands are a brilliant shout. Sitting off the coast of Africa, places like Sal and Boa Vista offer totally uninterrupted sunshine and temperatures in the mid-twenties. It’s exactly what you need when everyone else is scraping ice off their cars.

                                          Where is hot in February?

                                          By February, we are all completely sick of the cold. Fortunately, places like Thailand are sitting pretty at a glorious 32°C. Heading to Phuket or Bangkok gives you proper heat, amazing food, and beaches that actually look like the photos. If you want a shorter flight time but still crave the warmth, Morocco is a fantastic choice. Marrakech easily hits 20°C in the afternoon. It’s perfect for exploring the souks without sweating through your shirt, before retreating to a riad for fresh mint tea.

                                          What are the best warm winter destinations in Europe?

                                          Europe isn't exactly tropical in the winter, but there are definitely pockets of warmth if you know where to look. The Canary Islands are the undisputed champions here. Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura will give you enough sun to actually use the hotel pool. If you prefer the mainland, Andalucía in southern Spain is brilliant. Cities like Seville and Malaga often see bright blue skies and mild temperatures right through the winter. They're ideal for exploring without the massive summer crowds.

                                          What are the best European cities to visit in winter?

                                          If you're happy to embrace the cold rather than run from it, Europe has some absolute belters. Budapest is top of the list. You can spend the day freezing outside, then jump straight into the steaming thermal baths before hitting the ruin bars. Reykjavik is another massive hitter. It’s freezing, yes, but you get the chance to see the Northern Lights and soak in the Blue Lagoon. If you want something a bit more classic, Rome is brilliant in the winter. You get all the pasta, all the sights, and absolutely none of the ridiculous summer queues.
