Where We
Have Stayed

The single finest bathroom in the collection, judged on materials, light, proportion and the quality of the bathing itself.

The finest small, independent hotel we have stayed in. Recognises intimacy and character that the grand houses cannot manufacture.

The most complete identity in the collection, where name, mark, print and property all speak with one voice.

The finest club lounge experience, judged on food, service and the ease of an afternoon spent there.

The strongest culinary experience of any stay, across breakfast, restaurants and everything in between.

The single finest pool in the collection, judged on setting, atmosphere and the memory it leaves.

The best night's sleep we have had in any hotel. Mattress, linen, darkness and silence, all in agreement.

The most daring idea of what a hotel can be, executed with conviction rather than novelty.

The finest private outdoor space attached to a room, judged on view, scale and the wish to linger.

The most remarkable piece of architecture in the collection, as compelling from the street as from within.

The most careful making, in joinery, stone, detail and finish, wherever the hand of the maker still shows.

Service that felt personal rather than performed. The people, above everything else.

The finest river outlook from a room in the collection.

The finest city skyline seen from a room, held jointly where two stays could not be separated.

The deepest quiet of any stay, where the setting itself becomes the amenity.

The greatest distance between what was paid and what was received.

An outlook from the room that defined the stay.

The warmest team of people encountered anywhere in the collection, kindness without script.
