Built in the late 19th Century as two townhouses, the hotel is a listed building and the restoration has been meticulously done according to English Heritage standards with original fireplaces, carved wood panelling, high ceilings and large ornate windows.
Their Afternoon Tea is served in either the Park Lounge or the Chenestons Restaurant and the choice is at the discretion of the venue dependant on availability.
