A sizeable and contemporary building, although sensitively built with a façade of muted tones Thorpe Park Hotel and Spa is part of The House of Daniel Thwaites collection and features a modern spa and leisure centre, boutique-style bedrooms and a contemporary restaurant. The stunning 12m-high internal courtyard with a glass atrium is a great place to sip a cocktail or enjoy a tasty snack. While, the AA Rosette- awarded restaurant has a sheltered al fresco terrace for summer dining or guests can enjoy drinks beside the open fire in the cosy bar in winter. The first-class spa offers a 13m pool, indoor hot tub, spa treatments, gym, sauna and steam rooms, perfect for a wedding party to enjoy before or after the big day! Ceremonies take place in The Gallery Suite, a spacious setting for up to 90 guests, with a beautiful formal seating area for the ceremony to take place but two additional spaces off the main venue for unobserved refreshments or for bridesmaids to assemble. After, enjoy private dining for up to 50 guests, tucked away from the restaurant, with views out to the pretty al fresco terrace. For a large reception of up to 140 guests for a wedding breakfast, or an evening reception for up to 160, the Thorpe Suite is ideal as the space has use of the private bar near to the entrance of the building ‒ perfect for a receiving line to welcome your guests. Thorpe Park Hotel and Spa offers several benefits to its wedding couples, although these can alter from season to season (and dependent on availability) they can include: a dedicated wedding coordinator, discounts with preferred wedding partners, place cards for your tables, a silver cake stand and knife, a most romantic four-poster bedroom for the happy couple, a hearty and delicious English breakfast the following day and, where possible, your first anniversary accommodation!
