Bold electric-blue furnishings and contemporary chrome blend seamlessly with Flemish tapestries, Jacobean fireplaces and moulded ceilings at this country house hotel, once a 16th-century royal hunting lodge. A Michelin-starred restaurant and topiary sculptures in the Saxon-moated gardens are the crowning glories.
Close to junction 13 of the M25, it's five minutes by taxi from Egham station, where trains reach Waterloo in 40 minutes. Windsor Castle, Windsor Great Park – with polo on Smith's Lawn in summer – and the Runnymede Magna Carta Memorials are 20 minutes by car. Virginia Water Lake, Saville Garden and Thorpe Park theme park are even closer.
A stylish makeover of bold electric-blue furnishings and contemporary chrome fittings combine with beautiful tapestries, elegant Jacobean fire-pieces and sculptured ceilings to bring this grand hotel bang up to date. Guests who enter the oak-panelled lounge via a wicket door will still find traces of the Grade One-listed building's royal ancestry in Queen Anne Boleyn's crests and Queen Elizabeth's coat of arms on the ceilings (Elizabeth and King Henry VIII used it as a hunting lodge). A sundial (dating from 1585) is thought to have been donated by Sir Francis Drake.
