Premier Inn is launching a Family Christmas Grotto room and here’s how you can get paid to stay for free

Premier Inn is looking for a family to test its new Family Christmas Grotto room in the run-up to Christmas and they'll even pay you to stay over.

If you're unable to afford to take your kids to the most expensive Christmas Grotto,  or buy the most expensive Christmas decoration don't worry as you could win a festive stay in a different grotto that looks just as fun for free.

The Premier Inn hotel chain is launching a special Christmas Grotto overnight stay package in London. The lucky family will enjoy a trip to Hyde Park’s Winter Wonderland and a private tour of the capital in a black cab, followed by an overnight stay in its new Christmas Grotto at the Premier Inn London Farringdon Hotel. 

The Premier Inn's exclusive Christmas Grotto hotel room promises an exceptional festive getaway, complete with a variety of holiday-themed delights including matching family pyjamas, a delightful hot chocolate station, and indulge with Baylis & Harding seasonal toiletries.

But that's not all, next to the enchanting room is an entrance to a magical Grotto room that has a beautifully decorated Christmas tree and a creative station for crafting cherished keepsakes as mementoes of your visit. As an extra special surprise, Santa may have tucked some additional treats beneath the tree, too.

Premier Inn Christmas Grotto package - what's included?

Christmas obsessed families can win the chance to stay over on Saturday, 16th December and in return they will be asked to review their stay with photos and/or videos of their initial reactions to the grotto at the London Farringdon hotel.

Tamara Strauss, Global Customer Director for Premier Inn said, "London is simply magical during the festive period, and we want to offer something to make a trip to the capital extra special during this time of year." 

“Here at Premier Inn, we love a good celebration, so this package truly is the perfect option for people who love nothing more than getting into the festive spirit, with the chance to enjoy Winter Wonderland and take in the awe-inspiring lights on Regent Street, before staying in our very own Grotto." 

"We truly believe this is the dream job to beat all dream jobs; who wouldn’t want to experience the wonder of the city at Christmastime and the chance to return to a one-of-a-kind Christmas Grotto room to truly rest easy.”
