The Langley, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Buckinghamshire

A Palladian hunting lodge built for the Duke of Marlborough, now a Luxury Collection hotel where the original Bath stone staircase and a listed cedar greet you before you've even reached the front desk. Rooms sit in both the main house and a converted brew house, all marble bathrooms and oversized headboards. The Cedar restaurant mixes Italian, Peruvian, and Japanese influences beneath gold Moorish lighting, and a subterranean spa adds a hammam and indoor pool for anyone who finds the outdoor pool insufficiently theatrical.
