- Great
Hotels of the World (http://www.ghotw.com)
is delighted to announce the completion of a major
refurbishment at Stoke Place – an English country house in Stoke Poges,
Buckinghamshire, UK. Stoke Place (http://www.ghotw.com/stoke-place
)
has opened 10 new Garden Bedrooms, located within their walled garden
and
peacefully secluded from the rest of the property. Each of the new 10
bedrooms
has one wall of glass with lovely views of the surrounding grounds and
private
seating areas. The rooms are very modern with wooden flooring and
beautifully
tiled bathrooms. These new rooms are also perfect for groups in need of
a
private area. The bedrooms overlook the new herb & vegetable
gardens at the
hotel, designed to make the property more self-sufficient and
environmentally-friendly. The successful completion of these bedrooms
takes
Stoke Place from a 30 bedroom to a 40 bedroom hotel.
The Dhillon Group’s
Head Office move to Mayfair in London has also allowed the hotel to
increase
valuable working space for Stoke Place’s corporate clients. Located in
the
property’s Old Stables, two new office spaces have been created,
including a
boardroom for up to 10 delegates and another meeting space for up to
five
delegates. These new settings are perfect for more intimate meetings
and
provide alternative breakout options from the larger meeting spaces at
the
hotel.
Stoke
Place has also responded to guests’ requests for a gym onsite. Located
in the
Old Stables of the hotel with courtyard views, the brand-new gym boasts
a
quirky and fun design, complete with wood panelled walls, vintage
furniture,
individual mirrors facing each machine, and the latest gym equipment.
The new
fitness room is the ultimate space for both corporate and leisure
guests to
unwind and workout.
The
latest room to be completed is the hotel’s spa treatment room, built to
provide
guests with the ultimate space for beauty therapy. Guests can now enjoy
a
variety of treatments including massages, facials, manicures and
pedicures with
Stoke Place’s beauty specialists Flutterby.
Only
30 minutes away from the bustle of London, Stoke Place is a quiet haven
away
from the city. Set amidst the English country landscape, the three
storey
‘William and Mary’ style house was originally a family home in 1690
until it
was converted into a hotel. With an impressive 26 acres of grounds,
Stoke Place
provides a stunning backdrop for a relaxing and rejuvenating break.
Stoke
Place’s Garden Room restaurant has recently been awarded an excellent
rating of
‘4’ in the Good Food Guide 2011, 2 AA Rosettes for outstanding cuisine
in the
AA Restaurant Guide and has been recommended within the Michelin Guide
for
Great Britain and Ireland 2011.
