EVENT: #QbicSlumberParty at Qbic Hotel, Whitechapel

When your close friend invites you to a slumber party you think 'Great!'. When that slumber party is being hosted at the Qbic hotel with a dinner for 12, brunch, movie night and manicures you literally explode with excitement. And that's exactly what happened this Sunday when May of Red Velvet London hosted her first blogger meet up. We indulged in warming hot cocoa in front of Mean Girls, chilled in our jammies whilst getting a mani-pedi, and spent the best night's sleep in the best rooms the Qbic can offer.

Here's my photo diary from the night - I'm certainly not a very good travel blogger or hotel blogger, so excuse the rather sparse review! Thank you to May for inviting me and to the Qbic hotel for hosting us. We had an amazing time and I cannot wait to be back!

We started the evening with a beautiful communal dinner. The chef created a special menu just for our visit that featured some of his best dishes alongside some of our favourite flavours. I loved the five bean salad with guacamole, the potted rainbow trout with horseradish ice cream and the hummus with pitta was really delicious. The raw Asian slaw was also pretty oustanding but we needed much much more! 

This was clearly a typical bloggers dinner where the photography was flowing and the foodie chat inspiring. I loved talking with Em at Catch 52, April from April Loves and of course lovely May from Red Velvet London. 

And next onto bed! We all changed into our best pyjamas and a bunch of the girls were gifted the most hilarious onesies! May and Em both became owls whilst poor April drowned in her hamster onesie! We all met in the lounge and watched White Girls in the Parts and Labour lounge. 

After the film we headed to bed for a cosy night's sleep. I would definitely recommend statyng at the Qbic hotel - the space is so unique, well placed and the food is delicious! 

Thank you May for inviting me and it was amazing to meet all you girls! Thank you also to the Qbic hotel for hosting us and to Parts & Labour for feeding us throughout the stay.
