Hotel du VinConverted Georgian brewery hotel
The old brewery buildings encircle a central yard, running as a riverside hotel built around French bistro cooking and wine.
“the former Brakspears Brewery has been imaginatively converted into a cosy, relaxed 43 room hotel, where each room is named for a different vineyard.”
What it’s good at
Notable
Bedrooms balance industrial iron girders with solid Shaker-style waxed oak furniture.
Notable
Grade II listed 1711 Brakspear brewery buildings preserved with heavy timber beams.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Here a historically listed red-brick Georgian brewery building has been converted into a striking and contemporary small hotel.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Henley Bridge sits just down New Street, with the River Thames and its walking paths steps away.
The rooms
Solid Shaker oak furniture stands beneath original timber beams, and bathrooms have deep cast-iron tubs on wooden trestles.
Restaurant
Bistro du Vin
French bistro dishes draw on seasonal British produce, served beneath red industrial columns and exposed brick arches.
At the table
The bar draws on a cellar of over 600 wines. Candlelit private dining rooms occupy the brewery's former fermentation spaces.
How it began
Brakspear brewed beer on this site from 1711 until 2002, operating continuously on New Street for nearly three centuries.
