The Shard could be the the UK’s ‘most romantic’ building after it hosted hundreds of proposals last year and there is even a special team for them.
As London celebrates Valentine’s Day, the Borough-based skyscraper stands tall as the ultimate hub for romance – with seven proposals planned at the Shangri-La hotel this year already.
Last year it was the location for over 200 proposals.
Popping the question there has become so popular, that venues at The Shard have dedicated teams to assist those planning to propose to their loved one through specially tailored packages and experiences.
So what makes it such a hit with the lovebirds? As the tallest building in Western Europe, it offers 360-degree views, showcasing iconic landmarks like Tower Bridge and Buckingham Palace bathed in the city’s golden glow.
It is also home to seven world-class restaurants and bars and houses the luxury 5* Shangri-La hotel.
Kurt Macher, General Manager of Shangri-La at The Shard commented: “We take pride in our role in helping to enable the proposals that countless couples choose to give each year. We have an important part to play in making sure the experience is as smooth and romantic as possible.
“Our iconic views and unparalleled atmosphere make The Shard the ultimate destination for romantic moments, and we’re looking forward to helping more couples realise their dreams over the coming months.”
