The Four Seasons’ Hampshire outpost lies within 500 acres of glorious countryside, which
boast a tranquil lake where you can try your hand at catch-and-release fishing. Evidence of the
hotel’s recent revamp can be found in the jewel-toned bar, complete with tasselled armchairs
and sparkling crystal cocktail glasses. At the Wild Carrot restaurant, fresh oysters and juicy
scallops are expertly paired with a glass of champagne by the sommelier, while breakfast is a
plentiful array of fruit, fresh bread and farmhouse bacon. Bedrooms are equipped with thick
bathrobes, an abundance of pillows, and custom mattresses with heat-absorption technology,
ensuring you’ll wake up feeling suitably refreshed. KATIE MASON

The Hoxton Southwark
LONDON
Ever ahead of the curve, the Hoxton
hotel brand has opened its shiny new
outpost in the capital’s current hot-
spot, Southwark, following successful
launches in Shoreditch and Holborn.
This third iteration stays true to the
industrial-style design of its predeces-
sors, with perfectly pitched rooms sized from
Shoebox to Biggy, each one styled with wood-
panelled walls and brushed-brass fittings. As ever,
it’s all in the details, such as a fridge that you can
stock with snacks from reception, the daily delivery
of a breakfast bag containing fruit, an energy bar
and a juice, and a notebook filled with recommend-
ations of what to do in the area. But there’s really no
need to leave, thanks to a buzzing bar and the
rooftop restaurant Seabird, which offers stellar
seafood and panoramic city views. LH
