CLIVEDEN HOUSE HOTEL In pursuit of pleasure
Cliveden House is unique. One of the world’s finest luxury hotels, this remarkable Grade 1 listed stately home is set in the heart of the Berkshire countryside, surrounded by 376 acres of stunning National Trust gardens and parkland. The house has been dedicated to the pursuit of pleasure, power and politics for over 300 years.
Throughout the centuries Cliveden has enjoyed a colourful history with a succession of wealthy owners entertaining in style and leaving a lasting legacy. Today guests can be part of that legacy when they entertain their family, friends or colleagues at this remarkable house.
With summer turning to autumn and the promise of a seasonal larder rich in delicious ingredients, enjoy pre-lunch or early evening drinks in the Library, or listen to the fire crackling in the fabulous fireplace of the Great Hall before dining in the stunning south-facing Terrace Dining Room which is bathed in natural light and looks out over the Parterre, gardens and River Thames. Its classical elegance and fine works of art give it an enviable touch of romance, for which Cliveden is famous.
The two-course lunch menu at Cliveden will cost just £22 and £28 for three courses. Dinner prices range from £60 for the three-course a la carte dinner menu to £75 for the five-course tasting menu. Chefs using the very finest ingredients will create inspirational dishes and menus that are every bit as sumptuous as the restaurant in which they are served and our head sommelier will chose wines to match the occasion and the budget.
Cliveden offers a number of enchanting and luxurious private dining options including the exquisite French Dining Room, a Rococo masterpiece. Intriguingly the gilded panelling once graced Madame de Pompadour’s dining room at the Château d’Asnières, and was bought in 1897 by William Waldorf Astor who reconstructed the entire room at Cliveden.
Lord Astor’s private wine cellar with its brick walls, mighty pillars and vaulted ceiling also makes an unusual and atmospheric dining room perfect for hosting wine tastings. The Boudoir, once Lady Astor’s sitting room is romantically decorated in blue drapes with large windows and also overlooks the Parterre and lawns.
Less than 45 minutes west of London and 20 minutes from London Heathrow Airport, Cliveden House is enjoying a revival under its new
