HISTORY
The history of the location, Dogmersfield Park, reaches back a thousand years. First mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, it was the site of Henry VII’s first meeting with Catherine of Aragon. Some of the original features remain, including a 16th-century dovecote. The current hotel, which opened in February 2005, was designed by Nicolas Khalili to combine its deep historical roots with modern interiors. The main building is a 400-year-old Georgian manor house with period-style additional wings, a conservatory pool, and 133 rooms featuring English furnishings and classical architectural details.
