2010. Lisa Lernoux-Dock has joined the company in the role of Director of Sales for Coworth Park reporting directly to General Manager, Zoe Jenkins.

Coworth Park comprises a Georgian manor house, converted stable block and cottages set in 240 acres of mature parkland in the stunning Royal Berkshire countryside. On the doorstep of Windsor Great Park and Wentworth Golf Course guests at Coworth Park will be able to enjoy numerous outdoor leisure pursuits as well as its eco-luxury spa with 10 treatment rooms and swimming pool. Coworth Park will be the only hotel in the UK to have two polo fields and an equestrian centre stabling some 40 horses. There will also be a marquee set up in the grounds for wedding and social events catering for up to 250 people. Zoe Jenkins, General Manager of Coworth Park commented, "I am delighted to welcome Lisa to the pre-opening team here at Coworth. She is extremely well respected in her field and brings a wealth of experience. This is a very exciting time to be part of Dorchester Collection and the entire team at Coworth Park is dedicated to setting a new standard for luxury country house hotels in the UK.” Dorchester Collection The Dorchester Collection is a portfolio of the world’s foremost five-star luxury hotels and includes: The Dorchester in London, Le Meurice and Hôtel Plaza Athénée in Paris, Hotel Principe di Savoia in Milan, The New York Palace in New York, The Beverly Hills Hotel and Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles.
