The package includes round-trip airfare to London on British Airways and a three-night stay at the Royal National Hotel, near Oxford St. and Covent Garden. Also in store: a tour of Kensington Palace with complimentary admission and afternoon tea at Fortnum & Mason, a specialty food hall in business since 1707.

Travelers can stay extra nights at the Royal National for roughly $61 per person per night or to Central Park, Corus Hyde Park, or Royal Lancaster for an additional cost based on availability. (An extended stay at the end of May would overlap with the Chelsea Flower Show, May 23-27.) For a hotel stay in late April, we found that Central Park was an extra $40 per person; Corus Hyde Park was an extra $60 per person; and Royal Lancaster was an extra $100 per person.

London's chilly temperatures average mid-40s Fahrenheit in April and low 50s in May, so remember to pack a warm coat and brolly in case of spring showers.
