Marriott Hotel Twickenham, London

A newly opened hotel in the South Stand of Twickenham Stadium – home of English rugby – has just unveiled six rather special suites overlooking the hallowed turf.

Each includes a private dining area and a separate bedroom – both with birds eye views of the pitch. Guests also have access to a private seating area in the stands.

But if by any chance you miss any of the action, there’s always the large flat screen satellite TV to fall back on for replays (assuming it has not been appropriated by indifferent spouses).

Ardent followers of other national teams may find the suite names a bit galling, though, given that they all honour Grand Slam-winning England captains.
