Hanbury Manor Marriott Hotel & Country Club

This 17th-century-style country house is set in 200 acres of parkland. It is a luxury hotel with its own PGA Championship golf course, an award-winning restaurant and a leisure center with pool, sauna, gym, spa bath and steam rooms. Hanbury Manor Marriott Hotel & Country Club is in the Hertfordshire countryside, 25 miles from central London. Stansted Airport is less than 40 minutes away by car. The historic building mixes original character with modern luxury. The traditionally decorated rooms have luxury beds, flat-screen TVs, work desks and laptop safes. Hanbury Manor Marriott Hotel & Country Club features Vardon's, a sports bar with a large TV, serving light meals and snacks. The traditional wood-paneled bar has a real fire and offers afternoon teas, drinks and cocktails. Guests get 24 hours of free WiFi in the public areas. The more contemporary Cast Iron Grill has a terrace looking out over the 18th hole of the hotel's golf course. The hotel has free parking but does not have air con on property. The golf course was originally designed by Harry Vardon and later re-designed by Jack Nicklaus II. PGA professionals are on hand to assist, and the hotel also offers a Golf Academy to help with tuition and improvement on golf.
