The Grove Hotel, London/Hertfordshire, England Vacations, Honeymoons and Luxury Travel Packages

The Grove is part of the largest family-owned and run hotel group in the UK. We have a commitment to friendly, personal service and a resistance to overbearing corporate direction. Our other hotels, the five star Athenaeum in London's Piccadilly, the four-star Runnymede on the Thames near Windsor, and Greengarden House, our serviced apartments off Oxford Street, are one-offs, not me-too outposts of a faceless chain.

In an increasingly competitive market place we believe in keeping the autonomy and individuality of all our existing businesses. They are bound together by our core values and the sharing of knowledge.

At The Grove, voted UK’s Best Leisure Hotel by Condé Nast Traveller 2007, our 227 guest rooms and suites range from the luxurious to the truly palatial, with views over the estate, design that ensures a feel of the outdoors within, and all the in room facilities you need to ensure the perfect night away.

Mansion Rooms

Located in the original mansion house with sweeping views over the estate, each room features a king sized bed, luxury bathroom and all our usual selection of Grove facilities. From the Superior or Deluxe rooms to the spacious Executive Studio Suites, to the ultimate one-bedroom Vice Presidential and Presidential suites, every one is individually designed around one of three themes and has its own unique character.

Fresh and classic - a palette of dark timbers, cream textiles and burnt orange with a careful mix of fruitwood antiques and contemporary upholstery evoke the effortless good taste and elegance found in Manhattan and New England.

Cool and contemporary – soothing, spacious and clean lined. The natural colours inspired by Japanese ceramics complement the use of white lacquered furniture, clear perspex and green oak from the estate.

Rich, luxurious and opulent - a fresh take on Victorian exoticism! Thick velvet with beaded tassels combine with black ostrich feathers, velvet-trimmed deep aubergine sheers and black lacquered furniture for a hot, sexy classic.

West Wing Bedrooms

The Superior and Deluxe rooms in the West Wing are beautifully designed to be more open and contemporary with fabrics and finishes retaining their luxurious appeal. Equipped with all the facilities you expect from a luxury hotel, the mood remains rooted in the English countryside with colours chosen from nature, and forms and materials evoking the outdoors.

Superior twin or double - With 29 square metres of airy and contemporary space, these luxury rooms face the Walled Garden.

Deluxe twin or double - A larger space at 34 square metres these spacious rooms all feature a separate bath and walk-in shower, and a balcony or terrace with fabulous views of the formal gardens or golf course.
