BUCKINGHAMSHIRE - Hartwell House:
This magnificent stately home provides
formal luxury in an opulent country setting.
The building is decorated with a masterful
touch—crystal chandeliers, original oil
paintings, and carved ceilings adorn the
ornate public areas; the magnificent Jacobean
staircase is guarded by unique carved figures.
Bedrooms, furnished with well-chosen
antiques and comfortable beds are suitably grand. Once the seat of, among others, John, Earl of
Mortaigne (the future King John), and the exiled Louis XVIII of France, today it’s run by the
National Trust as a hotel. You can dress to impress for dinner or enjoy the terrace of the spa's
café—your choice.
LONDON – The Stafford London: Located on a quiet mews street just off Piccadilly, near
Green Park, this 100-year-old property is a charmer, alive with British character. The property is
th
situated in several distinct 17 Century
townhouses and comprises 105 individually
decorated guest rooms. The main building houses
67 rooms, while suites are located in The Stafford
Mews. Decorated with antiques and period
furnishings throughout, this hotel resembles an
elegant country house. While the styling is
traditional, modern conveniences are plentiful at
The Stafford. The hotel restaurant, The Game
Bird, features exceptional Modern British cuisine.
Staff members are excellent and quite friendly,
unlike at some London hotels where British reserve is on display. Many of the highlights of the
West End are a short walk away. www.thestaffordlondon.com
