Subtle Luxury: Heckfield Place Country House Hotel in England18 photos

The journey from an exquisite 18th-century estate to a modern hotel: this is the story of Heckfield Place Country House Hotel in Hampshire, England. Over the past 250 years, the main building and surrounding structures have evolved with time, but one thing has remained unchanged: elegant English style. The designer chose not to go for rigid classicism, but instead created a restrained mix in the interior, where luxury in the form of crystal chandeliers and marble blends with rural simplicity.

Elegant furniture sits alongside simple wooden benches, while art objects are paired with bouquets of wildflowers and framed herbariums. The hotel owners take great pride in the nature that surrounds Heckfield Place — lakes, centuries-old oaks, and lavender gardens. For those who prefer indoor comfort, there's a stylish and cozy cinema right in the hotel — by the way, anyone can drop in!
