The 240-acre estate that makes up The Dorchester Collection’s stately Coworth Park Hotel and Spa bumps up against Windsor Great Park just a little more than a half-hour’s drive from London. Located within the village of Sunningdale close to the world-famous horse racing at Ascot, the property boasts a fabulous equestrian center with riding lessons and activities appropriate to both beginners and experienced pros. Inside the main building’s lower floor, elegant spaces include the Summer Room and Winter Drawing Room facing the rear grounds and gardens, and serving as the location for afternoon tea. Throughout the public spaces and restaurants, stunning original works of art are on display, from a tall, branching bronze tree, to specially commissioned paintings and the gracefully circling Copper Oaks Leaves chandelier forged in Scotland. An ongoing speaker series includes talks by artists and luminaries such as top U.K. interior designer Martin Hulbert. The property’s illustrious past includes hosting numerous aristocrats and royalty. The stone manor house was also the home of Galen Weston, owner of Selfridges and Fortnum and Mason. It was Weston who built the first polo grounds and the Coworth Park Village and stables, where his polo ponies were housed. Coworth reopened in 2010 as the eighth property in the Dorchester Collection portfolio. Suites feature perks including copper roll-top soaking tubs in massive marble bathrooms, fabulous views through tall, floor-to-ceiling windows, more original art, fresh flowers and vast spaces for working or relaxing. Among the dining venues is The Barn, located in a converted building a short distance from the main hotel. The best local dairy products, produce, jams, honeys and meats are brought to the table in a casually upscale space dominated by a stunning stone fireplace. Also located in its own space is the partially submerged spa, with a living green roof and vast windows with natural light pouring through. The building’s lower level houses a heated indoor pool rimmed with tall amethyst stones and underwater music, an aromatic steam bath, sun terrace and modern gym. Upstairs, guests can indulge in a wide selection of healing treatments, massages and skincare rituals.
