Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa
New Era for The English Original: Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa Set to Unveil New Look in Summer 2025
This summer, Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa—nestled between the rolling Hampshire countryside and the dramatic Dorset coast—unveils the first phase of a bold new era. A beloved British country house hotel and spa for nearly 60 years, and one of the first English members of the prestigious Relais & Châteaux association, Chewton Glen is reintroducing itself with a stunning redesign of its restaurant, bar, and drawing rooms.

Led by renowned design studio Goddard Littlefair, the transformation honors Chewton Glen's rich heritage while ushering in a refreshed sense of modern elegance. Think intimate lounges with roaring fireplaces, a conservatory-style restaurant bathed in forest greens and amber hues, and a bar that evokes the warmth of vintage claret and oak. The design draws from the surrounding natural beauty—from forest to sea—inviting guests to relax, reconnect, and indulge.
Spearheaded by newly appointed General Manager Guy Owen, this is more than a makeover—it's the first step in a visionary evolution for this special property. With new hyperlocal dining concepts that celebrate British provenance and ever-evolving seasonal menus, Chewton Glen is reinforcing its place as a leader in contemporary and luxury British hospitality and a true classic, ahead of its 60th anniversary in 2026.
