Chewton Glen

Situated in Bath’s iconic Georgian Royal Crescent, this luxurious hotel is spread across two neoclassical townhouses – perfectly encapsulating English grandeur. After a revamp in 2014 the hotel offers the perfect blend of its former 18th-century style with all the modern comforts of the 21st. From the award-winning restaurant, state of the art gym, exceptional spa and its acre of pristine manicured gardens, luxury exudes in every detail here. Grand staircases lead to impressive lounges with chandeliers, and each sophisticated suite is designed in the traditional 18th century style from luxury bedding to the period paintings mounted on the walls. The hotel sits on a peaceful and residential crescent overlooking the lawns, but only a five-minute walk to the city centre, giving its guests the best of both worlds.

Wonderfully located between the Strand and the northern banks of the River Thames, The Savoy has stood as a London landmark since its opening in 1889. 268 luxury rooms and suites celebrate two distinct historic styles – stately English Edwardian and Art Deco grandeur – each encapsulating a timeless London glamour. Many enjoy wonderful views across the river and to other monuments around the city. Those staying in suites have a dedicated butler service, and all guests have access to Beauty and Fitness, a private facility in which offers spa treatments, a private pool, and 24-hour gym. Fine dining is central to The Savoy’s history, indeed upon its opening it attracted an aristocratic crowd in full regalia, suppering in public for the first time. Today, Kaspar’s Seafood Bar and Grill offers informal dining in a stylish Deco setting, whilst Gordon Ramsay’s Savoy Grill presents a British menu with a French touch. Simpson’s-in-the-Strand celebrates the best of British and is famous for its roasts. The award-winning Beaufort Bar is renowned for pushing the boundaries of mixology and the Knight’s Bar is perfect for pre-theatre drinks. The beautiful Thames Foyer is where The Savoy serves one of London’s best Afternoon Teas.

Set within the 400-acre Farncombe Estate is Foxhill Manor, a beautiful Grade II-listed country house that has been converted into a boutique hotel with plenty of English charm. The Arts and Crafts building is home to just eight rooms and suites, each named after a native British tree. Whether you stay in Willow, Beech, Juniper or Chestnut you can expect classic British style with a contemporary twist. Sophisticated neutral colour schemes are brought to life with splashes of bright colour and printed textiles and there are cosy woollen blankets for those chillier days. Bathrooms come with freestanding rolltop baths, some with views over the Vale of Evesham and out towards the Welsh Black Mountains. Foxhill Manor is located a short walk from the pretty village of Broadway and less than two miles from their sister hotel, Dormy House. Transport is included should you wish to use the spa there. Dining at the hotel is a real treat with a daily changing four-course menu using locally sourced and freshly foraged ingredients. If you’d like something a little different, you are welcome to have a chat with the head chef and come up with a menu specifically tailored to you. If hunger strikes in between meals, then there is a pantry which is restocked every day with beers, soft drinks and snacks. There is also an impressive wine cellar so finding the right wine to match your meal is easy.

Surrounded by carefully maintained gardens and private forests, the award-winning Linthwaite House is the perfect place to experience the scenic Lake District from.

Individually designed, the rooms offer all the modern conveniences needed for the utmost comfort. Specialising in modern British food, the restaurant has won numerous awards. Split across three dining rooms, the restaurant offers guests regional and seasonal Cumbrian flavours.
