The Grove

Country Estate

HOTEL SUMMARY

Where Georgian grandeur meets contemporary design innovation, The Grove London transforms a historic 18th-century country estate into Hertfordshire's most sophisticated luxury retreat, just moments from the capital yet worlds away in its 300-acre private parkland sanctuary. Once the ancestral seat of the Earls of Clarendon, The Grove carries centuries of English heritage within its walls, dating to medieval manor origins with architectural contributions from Robert Taylor. This luxury accommodation has evolved from aristocratic residence to internationally acclaimed venue, hosting G20 summits and NATO meetings while maintaining its intimate country house character. The estate's recent transformation under Martin Hulbert Design honors its storied past while embracing bold contemporary vision, earning recognition as one of Britain's most distinctive luxury hotels. The Grove's 215 rooms and suites blend historic charm with modern sophistication across two distinct wings. The Mansion's 26 accommodations occupy the original Georgian house, each offering formal garden views through period windows, while the contemporary West Wing houses 189 luxury rooms ideal for families. The architectural crown jewel remains the Cedar Suite pavilion, an oval-shaped marvel extending into the gardens with floor-to-ceiling glass walls and an eco-green roof. Interior spaces showcase industrial chic elements alongside natural inspiration, featuring bespoke kinetic steel sculptures and acoustic leaf-inspired ceilings. Each accommodation includes spacious marble bathrooms, high-definition LED televisions, and iPod docking stations, with select suites boasting separate lounges, dressing rooms, and even grand pianos. Beyond accommodation, The Grove delivers world-class experiences across its extensive grounds. The championship golf course, where Tiger Woods claimed victory at the 2006 WGC-American Express Championship, challenges players amid rolling countryside. The luxurious Sequoia Spa offers ESPA treatments including the signature Rose Ritual, inspired by the estate's climbing roses, while the striking black-tiled ozone swimming pool sits beneath a timber-framed barn roof evoking the property's agricultural heritage. Michael Balston's acclaimed landscape design creates traditional English gardens dotted with contemporary sculptures, while the Walled Garden features a 22-meter outdoor pool and urban beach complete with volleyball court. For discerning travelers seeking authentic English luxury beyond London's bustle, The Grove represents the pinnacle of country estate hospitality. Book Mansion accommodations for garden views and historic ambiance, or choose West Wing rooms for family-friendly modern comfort. Through En Primeur Club, guests enjoy exclusive upgrades and personalized concierge services, ensuring an unforgettable luxury experience where heritage meets innovation.
