STAYS FIT FOR ROYALTY

THE LANESBOROUGH, LONDON

Famed for its splendid Regency era decor, The Lanesborough in London was once owned by James Lane, the last Viscount Lanesborough, and features sumptuous details such as sweeping staircases and lush suites in jewel‑toned palettes of burgundy, sapphire and emerald. Located conveniently at Hyde Park Corner, the property is within a stone’s throw of Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace—no wonder there still remains a grand doorway that is only opened when royalty enters its premises.

CLIVEDEN HOUSE, BERKSHIRE

With sprawling grounds that exude timeless elegance, this 17th‑century country mansion offers a luxurious escape enhanced by centuries of aristocratic history. The hotel boasts meticulously manicured gardens, providing a picturesque backdrop for a leisurely stroll or afternoon tea. Having hosted royal luminaries such as Queen Victoria, Queen Charlotte and Queen Elizabeth II, Cliveden House continues to be imbued with regal allure. Most notably, the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan, stayed here with her mother Doria Ragland the night before her wedding to Prince Harry.

COWORTH PARK, ASCOT

No surprises here. This luxury country house hotel in Ascot, where the annual Royal Ascot horse racing event is held, has a strong equestrian connection. The property is owned by the Sultan of Brunei, and has its own stables and polo fields on the grounds. It hosts the Audi Polo Challenge, which Princes William and Harry have competed in, and is also said to be the training grounds for Brunei’s polo team, including the country’s Prince Abdul Mateen.
