Michelin Selected 2025 and Small Luxury Hotels membership
Michelin Selected 2025 sits alongside Small Luxury Hotels of the World membership in 2025 and a Mr & Mrs Smith Seal of Approval in 2026. Rothay Manor suits readers who want a hotel with outside recognition without relying on star or key counts.
23 rooms with garden and mountain views
Twenty-three rooms keep the scale defined, while garden and mountain views shape the stay. Quiet conditions, smart casual dress and on-site dining point to a more settled hotel base than a lodging used only for sleep.
