KNICKERS IN A TWIST

Love hearts and naff poems begone. This Valentine’s Day will be packed with naughty knickers, cashmere throws, Koibito’s organic lubricant and sea-salt caramel truffles if the achingly cool South Place Hotel has anything to do with it.

Cue international artist Dara Vandor’s latest exhibition Lingerie Draw/er which launches in the hotel on February 5 to kick-off the official Valentine’s Day Weekend package. Her work is focused, unsurprisingly, on women's lingerie and will be dotted about the hotel until 15 February.

Want to shake things up this V-Day? Ditch the kids and book the exclusive Lingerie Draw/er Package. Think king-size beds enveloped in cashmere, a signed work of art from Dara, Josephine Home Egyptian cotton, breakfast in bed and a bottle of champagne on arrival. Oh and did we mention the tickling feather? This is one big love-in. Right here. From £385 per night (Inc VAT). Southplacehotel.com. Book using the code 'Mother Pukka' and get an exclusive invite to the launch on Thursday, including flowing champagne, sexy beats and a sweet as dessert table.
