Built in the mid 1920’s, in style of Sir Herbert Baker, the Winchester Mansions Hotel embodies the style and gracious hospitality of a bygone era. Recalling a more genteel age, when courtesy and personal attention was paramount, Winchester Mansions Hotel has earned a reputation for delighting its quests with true hospitality. The most recent additions to this beautiful hotel are 23 new rooms in the roof, known as Top of the Mansions, the Arcadia Suite with two bedrooms and its private balcony. The Ginkgo Spa at the Mansions and the new pool are both integral parts of our desire to pamper our guests and ensure their well-being. A Business Centre allowing guests to stay in touch with their business or their loved ones through latest IT rounds off the range of services on offer at this modern yet traditional hotel.
