Beyond the magnificent facade of the Mansion House which greets guests on arrival, lies a 5 star hotel, which is like no other in the home counties. However, guests quickly discover that behind the imposing grandeur of Luton Hoo, the atmosphere is very relaxed and welcoming.
In 1903 Luton Hoo was bought by Sir Julius Wernher, a leading diamond dealer who commissioned Charles Mewes and Arthur Davis, the architects of the Ritz Hotel in London, to redesign the interior of Luton Hoo in a lavish Edwardian ‘Belle Époque’ style.
Purchased by Elite Hotels in 1999, Luton Hoo Hotel & Spa opened in 2007 following an investment of more than £60 million and a painstaking restoration programme.
