The house
AccorPalatial wellness estate
The estate runs like a grand country manor dedicated to restoration, shaped by clinical therapies and expansive thermal baths.
“On the outskirts of the former hunting grounds of Windsor Castle, Fairmont Windsor Park is housed in a former private residence on 40 acres of manicured grounds.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
A 2,500-square-metre spa with a multi-person cryotherapy chamber and traditional marble hammam.
Notable
Forty manicured acres featuring tennis and padel courts bordering Windsor Great Park.
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
Spanning 2,500 square metres, it has been designed to bring together the relaxing set-up you'd expect from a spoiling spa with hi-tech innovation.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Windsor Great Park sits right beside the grounds, and Windsor Castle is a short drive away.
The rooms
Rooms are decorated in soft neutral tones and quiet florals, and look out over the landscaped grounds.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Submerged loungers line the 20-metre heated indoor pool, and an outdoor vitality pool sits under an arched courtyard trellis.
The thermal suite
Heated ceramic loungers face walls of backlit Himalayan salt, set beside an aroma steam room and sauna.
The gym and studios
Cardio machines sit beneath slatted timber ceilings, and a dedicated studio holds rows of reformer Pilates beds.
At the table
Dining ranges from European brasserie dishes to afternoon tea, and evening cocktails are served beneath an amber stained-glass dome.
How it began
Once a 19th-century estate owned by Baron John Henry Schröder, the Jacobean-style manor was rebuilt from the foundations up.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
