The top triple of excellence in the longest-running Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards went to the Lucknam Park Hotel & Spa in Chippenham, England, which is about 10 kilometers from atmospheric Bath.

In particular, the hotel owned by the Athanasios Laskaridis family, was recognized as the top in 3 categories: Best Hotel in the United Kingdom, Best Spa Destination in the World, as well as Best Spa in the United Kingdom.

It is noted that in this year’s event, more than half a million readers of Condé Nast Traveler voted, who were invited to rate their personal travel experiences, offering a complete picture of the world’s hotels and destinations and at the same time expressing how much they wish to return to them.

In this regard, the general manager of Lucknam Park, Mr. Sakis Dinas, referred, among other things, to the hotel’s future plans, which include the addition of 2 more cottage-style accommodations in December, to the already existing 7 luxury cottages, which include from the comfortable One bedroom Gate House to the massive four bedroom Squire’s Cottage. The two new stone-built cottages, aptly named Apple Tree and Pear Tree, will feature fireplaces, charming country furnishings, and the much-coveted enjoyment of private gardens, particularly during the English summer.

At the same time, the general manager pointed to the arrival of a new restaurant and a new event space, as within the second quarter of 2024, the hotel is expected to open the Dovecot, meaning the pigeon house, a new bar for cigar smokers. The new addition will be a conversion of the hotel’s traditional dovecote, which will, among other things, offer a fully stocked bar, cigar humidors, floor-to-ceiling bookcases and an open balcony, thus reviving a quintessentially British venue of study.

Also, in the second quarter of 2024, the hotel’s Brasserie is being redeveloped to become the beautiful The Walled Garden restaurant. Here, guests will experience a seasonal dining experience, which consists of local products and ingredients provided by the hotel’s garden.

In addition, in the first quarter of 2024, further enhancement of The Spa at Lucknam Park is planned as the hotel is committed to continuous innovation and offering the best guest experiences. In particular, a special foot bath, an experiential shower experience and an infrared sauna are added to the spa.
