Surrounded by an exceedingly spacious park, the hotel is an ideal choice for travelers seeking rest and relaxation as well as a taste of urban life. In addition, the hotel offers an excellent spa, including an indoor and an outdoor pool.

Location & neighborhood

The hotel is just a ten minute drive from the small town of Windsor and close to the center of London as well. Although Heathrow Airport is only 25 minutes away, the area surrounding the hotel is unbelievably quiet. The lush park with its pond, elegant fountains and imposing trees is perfect for long walks.

Ambience & Service

The opulent estate is fit for royalty. However, it's not a historic property. In fact, the Fairmont Windsor Park was not completed until 2021. The furnishings are correspondingly modern. Marble bathrooms, giant horse statues, monochrome chic, an expansive atrium, and spacious floor plans reveal the hotel's true age.

The service can only be described as impeccable. Whether it's the extremely skilled hands of the therapists in the spa, the concierge or the staff in the restaurants, you're in the best of hands. As a guest, you get the feeling that no request is too small – or large.

Rooms & suites

Elegant colors predominate in the rooms and suites. Old rose, dark brown, cream, and a splash or two of color: you'll feel instantly at ease. The basic equipment of the rooms and suites includes Nespresso machines, king-size beds, minibars, first-class sound systems and hairdryers by GHD. Customized amenities add a personal touch: you'll find your name on shower gels, shampoos and body lotions by Le Labo.

Gastronomy

You'll start your morning at Moreish where you can indulge at the buffet restaurant with an incredibly large selection. Additionally, à la carte options are available as well. The many Middle Eastern influences are a specialty here. You can also end your evening here, if you choose; however, for a more exclusive dining experience, we recommend the restaurant 1215. 

The Library

Enjoy the elegant ambience as you dine with a view of the garden. Here, too, the ingredients come from the surrounding area and from the restaurant's own herb and vegetable gardens. The dishes are ambitious and carefully composed. Although the restaurant has yet to be awarded a Michelin star, it seems inevitable. For afternoon tea, head to the Orchid Tea Room. In front of ornate floral wallpaper, you can enjoy excellent teas and unforgettable desserts.

The 1215 Bar and the soon-to-open Schroders' Botanicals Bar offer select spirits. Master classes with mixology experts as well as pastry chefs and sommeliers round out the culinary experience.

Spa & Fitness

The jewel of the house is the spacious wellness area, inspired by ancient healing methods. In 18 treatment suites you'll be pampered by expert massages. The offer ranges from gold facials and Japanese Ashyu foot ritual baths to traditional massages. A 20-meter indoor pool, an outdoor pool, a sauna, a steam room, a barber, physical therapy, nutritional counseling, manicures, Ayurvedic rituals, and a hair salon are just some of the other amenities.

A real highlight is the huge gym, including the latest Technogym equipment for endurance and strength training as well as a spinning studio, HIIT training areas and even a studio for aerial yoga. The open-air fitness center in the park stands out also. Personal training is available upon request. A good selection of courses, such as Pilates, boxing, tennis, TRX, and spinning will make the hearts of sporty guests beat faster.

Recommendations from the editors

Windsor Great Park with Windsor Castle is worth a trip for the whole family. Parents with younger children should plan a visit to Legoland Windsor Resort. The Savill Garden is also just a ten-minute drive away. The rooms and suites that look out onto the park and not into the courtyard are especially nice.
