Details
Housed in a restored Shire Hall, the hotel blends historic grandeur—vaulted ceilings, wide corridors and a cascading chandelier of 86,000 glass beads—with contemporary art-led design. There are 55 individually styled rooms and suites (23 in the main building and 32 in the adjoining House). House rooms have direct access to the spa, gym and the in-house patisserie. Rooms feature designer toiletries, espresso machines, thoughtful lighting and sound, and many offer deep-soak tubs and rainfall showers.

Relax at the spa, sauna and solarium, or book a treatment in the massage rooms. Work out in the fitness centre, catch a film in the 30-seat private cinema, or unwind in the Secret Garden beside a waterfall and a pomegranate tree. The hotel also offers an on-site patisserie and boulangerie, a cocktail bar with an award-winning wine list and mixologist, a library, parking and concierge services.
