which is part of The United Kingdom
England is the largest and, with 55 million inhabitants, by far the most populous of the United Kingdom’s constituent countries. A ‘green and pleasant land’, England is home to much more than this famous description implies. From urban bustle to rural idylls via spectacular coastline and dramatic natural scenery, England has an incredible variety of landscapes and attractions to experience.
North Yorkshire
Size: 47 rooms and suites
Style: Modern British
Following an intensive four-year restoration, this 47-room Yorkshire country house hotel – just two hours by train from London – has evolved from a nearly derelict 17th-century mansion to its former glory. And then some.
Elegant. Grand. Opulent. Grantley Hall, with its Michelin starred chef and late-night champagne bar – pleases the most discerning palate. While also satisfying the most savvy spa goer. Spend days strolling the Japanese and formal English gardens – complete with fountains and private lake. Before heading into the ‘city-science-center meets country house’ spa for treatments; time in the rhassoul chamber, steam, sauna, snow room, or cryotherapy tank.
