A story of heritage and vision
The story of De Vere is a very British one; tales of democracy, royalty, education and religion, interwoven into its hotels rich history. At its heart, sits a collection of country estates and ancestral family seats that have stood the test of time - each with a long tradition of welcoming and entertaining guests, from Winston Churchill to King Edward VII. Today, these historic country estates and houses have been enhanced to accommodate a 21st Century way of living and working and are complemented by inspiring event spaces – including The Grand Connaught Rooms in central London.
Investing for the future
Our ongoing multi-million pound investments continue to place the historic mansion houses at the heart of our hotel estates, and De Vere now operates over 260 meeting rooms and over 1,800 bedrooms, located around London, the south east and the Cotswolds. Feel free to have a browse of our book and take a tour through some of the stunning transformations that have already taken place.
De Vere Beaumont Estate
At the heart of Beaumont Estate, just south of Windsor, sits an 18th-century mansion house, a chapel, 75 event spaces and a Georgian white house.
A recent refurbishment has seen its elegant bedrooms renovated, including luxury suites in The White House, a new restaurant & bar and the Pantry coffee lounge.
Many of the estate’s event spaces have also been renovated and updated with Smart Space technology, including the state-of-the-art Hanover Suite with space for up to 700 guests, the Hanover Lounge and the iconic 19th-century Chapel, with the addition of new executive lounge, The Pantry, completing the project.
In the grounds, garden sculptures have been commissioned, with outdoor Wi-Fi also added.
De Vere Wokefield Estate
There has been an estate at Wokefield since the first house was built in the 1560s for the wealthy Plowden family.
A multi-million pound refurbishment has seen the elegant Mansion House completely transformed, as have the meeting and event spaces at the new Hub in Wokefield Place and the characterful Lincoln and Palmer suites in the mansion. Whilst a new reception, the Pantry coffee shop, a new restaurant, bar and Whisky Lounge, and a refreshed gym & pool area completed the project.
Outside, a specially commissioned parliament of hares create a sculptural centrepiece in the grounds along with the addition of outdoor Wi-Fi.
De Vere Tortworth Court
With a history dating back to the 11th century, the estate at Tortworth has been the ancestral seat of the Ducie family for 350 years and counting.
A multi-million pound refurbishment of the Mansion House is now complete, which includes the renovation of the bedrooms and the creation of 11 new luxury suites. The Courtyard rooms are also undergoing a renovation in 2022 and the spa & gym have been refreshed along with a number of the hotel’s 14 events rooms including the impressive Victorian conservatory, The Orangery, and the Victoria and Kitchener rooms.
In the extensive grounds you’ll find a Victorian arboretum of note, contemporary garden sculptures and fast outdoor Wi-Fi.
De Vere Wokefield Estate
One of Britain’s most secret homes, because of its connections with WWII, the mansion house at De Vere Latimer Estate dates back to 1838.
A multi-million pound refurbishment has seen the estate transformed, with 31 deluxe rooms, the new 1838 Restaurant and Bar along with an outdoor dining courtyard, the Huntley Bar and The Library. Many of the estate’s 27 event spaces and bedrooms have also been refurbished, including those in the modern Mews and Waterhouse wings, and the grand Cavendish Suite in the heart of the Mansion House.
In the grounds, outdoor Wi-Fi has been added alongside sculptures commissioned by artist Emma Stothard.
