New Era for The English Original: Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa Set to Unveil New Look in Summer 2025

Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa, situated amidst the picturesque Hampshire countryside and the stunning Dorset coast, is set to unveil the initial phase of an exciting new chapter this summer. Having been a cherished British country house hotel and spa for almost six decades and a distinguished member of the renowned Relais & Châteaux association, Chewton Glen is reintroducing itself with a striking redesign of its dining areas, bar, and social spaces.

Under the guidance of the well-known design firm Goddard Littlefair, the renovation pays homage to Chewton Glen’s storied past while introducing a fresh touch of contemporary sophistication. Envision cozy lounges with crackling fireplaces, a restaurant styled like a conservatory bathed in earthy greens and warm ambers, and a bar exuding the cozy charm of aged wine and oak. Inspired by the beauty of the surrounding landscapes—from lush forests to the sparkling sea—the design aims to create a tranquil retreat for guests to unwind, reconnect, and pamper themselves.

Managed by the newly appointed General Manager Guy Owen, this transformation signifies more than just a cosmetic upgrade—it signals the beginning of an innovative transformation for this exceptional property. With new dining experiences that highlight locally sourced British ingredients and regularly updated seasonal menus, Chewton Glen is reaffirming its reputation as a trendsetter in contemporary luxury hospitality in Britain, as it approaches its 60th anniversary milestone in 2026.
