Down Hall Hotel - Newly-refurbished Bridal Suite



NEW BRIDAL SUITE UNVEILED FOR DOWN HALL HOTEL

Down Hall has unveiled a newly refurbished designer suite as a prototype of developments to follow at this stunning 99 bedroom, four-star country house hotel and wedding venue.
The new suite complements the country house style of the hotel perfectly, with a classic contemporary blend of bespoke and restored antique furniture, natural fabrics such as woollen plaids, herringbone and velvet brocade in plums, greens and earthy hues by Moon, Sanderson, Warwick with wallpaper by Brian Yates, paint by Zoffany and Brintons’ bespoke carpet. Accent lighting and the welcoming and homely bathroom interior hint at the more streamlined design of the fashionable 1930’s era.
The interior design is the work of Rachel McLane Ltd, whose portfolio includes many similar hotels including The Feversham Arms and The Black Swan in Helmsley, North Yorkshire and Mere Golf and Country Club in Cheshire.

Chris Falcus, the Hotel’s General Manager, commented,

“We are delighted not just with the look of this new suite, but how the new style has transformed the feel of the space, added touches such as the lighting design not only look good but add to its functionality. Guest feedback has been very positive with our bridal couples who have particularly appreciated the luxurious soft furnishings and bathroom design.”  

Located near Hatfield Heath, on the Hertfordshire and Essex borders, and dating to circa1540, this popular venue is one of the most beautiful examples of Baroque country houses in England with stunning photogenic interiors. It is located in 110 acres of gardens and grounds.
Leisure facilities and added attractions at Down Hall include an indoor heated pool, sauna, cocktail bar, snooker room, tennis courts and outdoor games.

The Hotel

Down Hall is a privately owned country house hotel. The building dates back to the C14th in parts although the Italianate influence that defines the hotel’s current facade dates back to the C16th. Located in Hatfield Heath close to Bishop’s Stortford, the hotel is easily accessible from London and is on the borders of Essex and Hertfordshire. The 110 acres of formal gardens and grounds add to the country house experience and the privacy and seclusion of the venue.
