Beaverbrook

On August 2, 2020, the U.K. re-opened to vaccinated travelers from the United States, and now Beaverbrook welcomes back guests in style, debuting an array of irresistible new guest experiences that celebrate the best things in life, including the sensational Surrey Hills. Sitting proudly amid 470 emerald acres of meadows, woodland and gardens, Beaverbrook offers unique access to picture-postcard landscapes and hosts delightful discoveries for guests. A best-of-British summer is guaranteed, thanks to innovative balloon dining, vineyard tours,
wine tastings, turbo e-bikes, Italy-inspired al fresco feasts, and self-driving jaunts in a classic car.

Reach for the Sky

Putting a nostalgic, imaginative spin on al fresco dining, the hotel's new balloon dining experience gives guests the rare chance to savour a special meal in six stationary hot-air balloons. Temporarily grounded within Beaverbrook's magnificent Italian gardens, each one of these vintage-style, rubyand-pink-striped beauties seats up to six in wooden-and-wicker comfort. An authentic menu from the Japanese Grill will be served with a generous portion of estate views. The Yakiniku Menu will start with cocktails and a selection of Japanese amuse-bouches. A spectacular sushi and sashimi sharing platter is then followed by a selection of the finest meats (including Japanese Wagyu Beef from Kobe and Kyushu Island, Acorn-Fed Iberian Pork and Wild Cured Deer) and vegetables to grill tableside. To finish, a selection of fluffy, sweet puddings inspired by clouds. The Reach for the Sky experience starts from $230 per person.
