Desire, wealth, tea, and history fraught with temptation and conflict, the UK has overcome it all.

Enter a world of timeless romance and boundless beauty. With a fascinating history, iconic landmarks, coastal views, Scottish highlands, and rolling vineyards, there are amazing things to do and people to meet throughout the UK. Join Belmond in your discovery of history, culture, and hospitality in this evergreen island nation. 

From the first settlements of pre-Celtic people, and the construction of Stone Henge, to the Roman invasion, Britain has been ruled by many. This tumultuous past lends itself to the mythical grandeur of magnificent landscapes and luxury beyond imagination.

The Belmond Royal Welcome

Champagne sipping as your roll through the countryside aboard a 1920's train. Dance through the night at Chelsea's most elite hideaway. Pick flowers in the orchard in Oxfordshire. The spirit is always quintessentially British with Belmond trains and hotels.

Belmond Hotels in the UK

Cadogan Hall, London

This stylish, retreat in the heart of Chelsea offers the perfect place for a breath of fresh air within the bustling city. Within the walls, guests will discover an indulgent city hideaway where every detail weaves together the past and present.

If walls could talk, these walls would have captivating stories to tell. Cadogan's address has long been a playground for socialites and bohemians like Oscar Wilde and Lillie Langtry. Today Belmond celebrates its past and heritage while offering modern, understated luxury. From the world-class restaurants and tranquil garden to quirky design details and in-room libraries, this is London living perfected.

After an afternoon in the London bustle, the gardens are the perfect place to rewind. As a Cadogan guest, you’ll have access to the green, serene Cadogan Place private gardens. This enchanting space tucked away from the buzz and life of the city, is the perfect spot to unwind. Enjoy a late afternoon picnic, or simply while away the hours with the company of a good book.

Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, Oxfordshire

This 15th-century manor combines heritage and french flair. Individually designed suites tucked into the picturesque countryside and a Michelin-starred restaurant pair for a perfect stay. Lush gardens color the grounds through summer while, open fires warm the manor through winter. Le Manoir is a house for all seasons.

Since opening in 1984, the manor has earned itself a global reputation for fine gastronomy. But its prominence is more than just about what’s on the plate. Rooms are imagined by prestigious UK interior designers. Fragrant orchards and a mushroom valley elicit awe. An annual Festival of Music promises a feast for ears and appetites.

Belmond Trains in the UK

Royal Scotsman, Scotland

Embark on a grand highland adventure. Leisurely and luxurious, intimate and eye-opening, step aboard and rekindle the romance of travel. Riding Royal Scotsman is one of those pinch-me moments. Ranking among the world’s most luxurious trains, mahogany-clad cars marry Edwardian elegance with the comforts of a country house. Ten intricately designed carriages, including the sublime Bamford Spa, form a palace on wheels.

Each en-suite cabin features sophisticated mahogany marquetry and an inviting medley of tweed furnishings and soft Highland wool. As the rugged Scottish landscape glides by, let the view—and motion—soothe you into a well-earned rest.
