With a guestlist that’s included everyone from Charlie Chaplin to Henry VIII, Great Fosters is a regal retreat steeped in nearly five centuries of history. Grand four-poster beds, Flemish tapestries, and deep soaking tubs distinguish many of the hotel’s 56 suites and bedrooms, while dishes like Herdwick spring lamb and slow-cooked duck ragu don the menus at the Michelin-starred Tudor Pass and the Estate Grill. Be sure to stop into the spa for one of their royalty-worthy treatments.
