Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire

The Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire England is a member of the luxury international hotel group, which already owns two hotels in London on Park Lane and in Canary Wharf. This is the first to be established in England outside of London. Refurbished and extended Georgian manor house an hour's drive from central London.

Four Seasons' first foray into the English countryside has seen the company's trademark informal elegance successfully transplanted to almost-rural Hampshire. Set in the 500-acre historic Dogmersfield Park, the heart of the hotel is a Grade 1 listed Georgian manor house. The Park, once the residence of the Bishops of Bath and Wells is mentioned in the Domesday Book. An earlier palace on this site was the meeting place of Prince Arthur and his future bride, Catherine of Aragon, who later married King Henry VIII. The five-star Four Seasons Hotel in Hampshire England retains its sense of history but with up-to-the-minute comfort, service and facilities. The meeting space is set in a dedicated wing of the Hotel and totals 5,648 square feet. All rooms benefit from wireless Internet access, elegant neutral décor and on-site audio visual support. A dedicated Conference Services team, fully equipped 24-hour business centre and Concierge complete the impressively structured service.

Architects of the Four Seasons Hotel were entrusted with the challenge of restoring this English stately, and have given it an impressive new lease of five-star life. The fact that these design experts were dealing with such a precious mansion and such expressive Georgian architecture, meant that the design needed to be very simple and understated. The objective was to successfully enhance all of the period features at the Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire England hotel while injecting every cutting-edge extra to sate the most demanding of modern-day hankerings. There was also the matter of abiding to a tome of stringent regulations.

The expert blend of classic and modern British furnishings and interior design in the Four Seasons Hotel comes care of Richmond International. Traditional heavy drapes, Turner etchings and antique armoires hark back to the main building’s heritage, and a stroll through glass walkways leads to latterday luxe in the glossy bar, restaurant and spa areas.

As guests sip their afternoon tea to the background tinkle of classical music, gazing over meadows contemplating whether to go horse-back riding or shooting, they can be sure that there are 300 members of the Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire staff toiling away to afford them this unadulterated comfort and tranquility. And due to the additional structural wizardry, most of the back-of-house activity is hidden in a warren of utility rooms sunken behind the hotel, and thanks to which the linen is always as crisp as can be, floral arrangements are forever fresh and the 24-hour room service food is presented with as much panache as it is in Seasons, the modern European restaurant.

But the Four Seasons Hotel doesn’t stop there. The estate includes two lakes, a canal for boating, clay-pigeon shooting, and a horse-riding centre. As for where the hoofed were kept in centuries past, the original stable block has been transformed into 27,000 sq ft of state-of-the art spa and health club space, offering 15 treatment rooms, a quartz crystal sauna and amethyst steam rooms, relaxation and exercise rooms. Thanks to the The Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire England hotel’s own herb garden, signature treatments marry the impressive grounds with the holistic and pampering agenda, and fresh organically grown plants are used in therapies such as Soothing Chamomile and Sage Massage. Should visitors be able to tear themselves from the Espa temptations, they can go for a dip in a vast 20’x8’ conservatory-housed pool or outdoor vitality pool, or lunch in Café Sante.

Set in splendid Parkland the Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire as a "historic" treasure has quite clearly benefited from sympathetic and yet lavish restoration and improvement. Equally impressive is the welcoming and friendly service that is apparent throughout any visit. The result is an exceptional hotel offering all that could be asked for by the demanding business user and yet doubtless equally suitable for personal or family visits. To have the Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire Hhotel within easy reach of London and the South Coast is certainly a welcome addition to the Hampshire scene.
