Hotel Description
Cliveden is unique. The setting, architecture and interiors all speak eloquently of extraordinary extravagance and remarkable refinement. But that's not all. There is a palpable sense of history, for this is a house that for over 300 years has been dedicated to the pursuit of pleasure, power and politics.
Cliveden is set amid 376 acres of magnificent formal gardens and parklands, yet is conveniently located near to London and London Heathrow Airport. Standing upon chalk cliffs that give the estate its name, the house commands panoramic views over the beautiful Berkshire countryside and an idyllic bend in the river Thames.
The interior of the house does nothing to disappoint the sense of anticipation created by the stately drive and imposing façade. As the uniformed footmen usher you into the Great Hall, you are overawed by the expanse of space and the profusion of detail.

Luxury Hotel Accommodation
An invitation to stay at Cliveden was seldom refused in Lady Astor's day - not least because the bedrooms were so luxuriously appointed and the staff so attentive. The standards she set are still rigorously maintained today.
You can be certain of a beautiful room filled with exquisite furnishings and priceless antiques. As you enter you are welcomed with muted music, the scent of freshly cut flowers and, if it is winter, a crackling log fire. With more than four members of staff per bedroom you are assured of flawless service offered with care, courtesy and enthusiasm. It's an experience so unforgettable that guests return time and again.
Each of the rooms is named after a prominent guest or figure from Cliveden's past, and furnished accordingly. The Langhorne Room is named in the memory of Nancy Astor's family. The Canning Room celebrates this remarkable orator and politician who became Prime Minister in 1827. The Sutherland Room with original furniture commissioned by the Duke of Sutherland. The Lady Astor Suite, Lady Astor's bedroom, pictured, now offers guests one of the very grandest suites in the world.
Other rooms and suites commemorate the famous and the infamous, all of whom have stayed at Cliveden.
Whatever room you choose you'll not only be extremely comfortable but will find yourself surrounded by a wealth of historical associations that make your stay truly remarkable…then there's always Spring Cottage.
