Luton Hoo Hotel, London

Set amid 1065 acres of rolling English countryside, including a 50 acre lake landscaped by ‘Capability’ Brown, Luton Hoo offers unrivalled prestige and history, having once accommodated Queen Elizabeth II. The River Lea snakes through the grounds to create 2 lakes, whilst mature trees grace the parkland including several 300-year-old sweet chestnut trees. Despite this beautiful rural setting, Luton Hoo is just 10 minutes' drive from Luton Airport and 40 minutes from Heathrow. Road and rail links are also excellent – it’s 4.8 km (3 miles) from junction 10 of the M1 and 5 minutes from Luton Parkway station, where a frequent 30-minute service takes you into London. This combination of tranquillity and accessibility looks set to make Luton Hoo a popular destination for leisure breaks and business functions of every kind. You are invited to follow in the footsteps of many notable guests, including kings and queens.
