A poetic family getaway at the luxurious Beaverbrook Hotel

Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of the Beaverbrook Hotel in Surrey: spa, children’s area, Japanese dining. A refined and fun break to discover.

A historic setting for family luxury

The Beaverbrook Hotel, located in the Surrey Hills on a 470-acre (190-hectare) estate, embodies a clever blend of British elegance and contemporary creativity. Formerly the residence of Lord Beaverbrook, it has retained its high-society soul while adapting to the needs of families: 56 rooms, 9 suites and a villa, all decorated with finesse and personality.

The immersive children’s play area
Designed for the enjoyment of younger guests, the estate offers an extensive children’s area with an arcade, arts and crafts, board games, a large tree house and an outdoor obstacle course. All this creates a safe, fun and inspiring atmosphere.

The spa and wellness facilities
The Coach House Spa, under an imposing colored glass roof, offers a full range of wellness services: six treatment rooms, heated indoor and outdoor pools, a thermal area, and even a hyperbaric chamber for advanced treatments. In addition, there are a variety of sports facilities, including tennis, archery, cycling, fencing, padel, and pickleball, to satisfy all activity desires.

The spa’s philosophy is holistic and rooted in the surrounding nature: the treatments, relaxation, and structure of the place aim to reconnect the body and mind with the bucolic landscapes around it. Each cabin and each pool invites you to reconnect peacefully in a remarkable visual setting.

The suspended dinner, a culinary and immersive experience

The highlight of the experience is the suspended dinner, featuring a four-course Japanese menu called “Fanning the Flame” served in hot air balloon-shaped pods designed by Summerill & Bishop and set up in the gardens.

The menu combines sushi, sashimi, immersive yakiniku barbecue, and a themed dessert called “The Clouds.” The price is £135 per person, £85 for vegetarian or vegan options. This experience can be booked independently of your stay.

Refined Japanese cuisine at the heart of the hotel
The signature restaurant, The Dining Room – Japanese Grill, offers delicate dishes such as sushi, sashimi, and nigiri, grilled in a Josper oven and orchestrated by chef Wojciech Popow, who has been recognized for his mastery and trained at Gordon Ramsay and Noma. The menu highlights local ingredients, some of which are fermented or wild-harvested, with creations such as Toro Tartar with Yuzu Miso, charcoal-grilled wagyu, and Turbot Nigiri with wood ants and marigold oil.

Other welcoming dining areas

In addition to the Japanese Grill, several other venues complete the gourmet offering:

• The Garden House Restaurant, nestled in an enclosed vegetable garden, offers rustic Italian-inspired dishes made with seasonal produce.
• Mrs Beeton’s, for comforting British classics (burgers, traditional desserts).
• La Pizzeria du Deli, stone-fired pizzas, and The Coach House Deli, salads and fresh snacks, perfect before or after spa treatments.
• Sir Frank’s Bar, a sumptuous bar where you can sip a cocktail in an art deco and botanical setting designed by Marianne North.
