The Langley, Marriott's first Luxury Collection
hotel in the English Countryside, has opened in Buckinghamshire.
Located just outside of London in the heart of
Buckinghamshire’s vast Langley Park, The Langley offers 41
bedrooms in two buildings - the former hunting lodge of the third
Duke of Marlborough, and the adjacent Grade II-listed 18th century
Brew House.
Following an extensive six-year,
multi-million pound renovation, the property opened this week as a
hotel for the very first time.
“Buckinghamshire is a
picturesque county full of rolling green hills and stunning
gardens, grand castles, and quaint towns with rich history,” said
Anthony Ingham, Global Brand Leader, The Luxury Collection. “The
Langley is yet another stunning example of The Luxury Collection’s
commitment to restoring historic icons across the globe, and our
guests will deeply connect with our first hotel in this remarkable
destination respite just outside the buzzing city of London.”
Built between 1756 and 1760, the main Langley Park House is a
grand Palladian mansion situated within iconic Lancelot ‘Capability’
Brown-designed gardens. The refurbishment has allowed the
historic, original features of the building to shine through,
reflecting the spectacular natural setting of Langley Park
alongside the refined elegance and grandeur of its distinctive
British heritage.
The mansion house is home to The Langley’s most
opulent accommodation, including the vast and exclusive Duke of
Marlborough Suite. The three-bedroom suite is set around an unique
octagonal central room, with views of the park and
its lake. The second floor of the main house offers quirky and cosy rooms with views through historic round windows.
The Brew House provides refined and comfortable residential rooms
and suites, reflecting the building’s storied history. Located
adjacent to the Main House, the Brew House has acted as a stable,
clock tower and brewery over the centuries. Guests today can see
the historic spaces where previous owners concocted their local
beers, sensitively restored and showcased as part of the building
design.
“The restoration of The Langley has been an incredible
process involving large teams of experts painstakingly
regenerating this magnificent historic building to its former
glory,” said Khalid Affara, developer of the hotel. “The whole
estate is steeped in such rich history and heritage, so we are
thrilled to finally open the doors to a truly unique property that
successfully celebrates The Langley’s past whilst offering
contemporary luxury and design alongside outstanding dining and
cutting-edge spa and gym facilities.”
The luxury hotel features The Langley Spa is a 1,600 square metre wellness hub,
offering treatments in partnership
with Sisley. The spa boasts a private VIP suite, vitality
pools, hammams, juniper-wood sauna with pink Himalayan salt walls,
amethyst steam room and 16-metre marble-lined indoor swimming
pool. There are also a number of relaxation spaces – including one
designated for women – plus a dedicated manicure and pedicure
studio, hair salon, and Spa Lounge. The
wellness experience continues in nature, with an outdoor
swimming pool beside the banks of Langley Lake.
The Langley also features a variety of meeting
spaces, a small private cinema and a selection of F&B outlets. Outdoor enthusiasts
will be able to enjoy long walks, clay pigeon shooting, horseback
riding, croquet and more.
