West Lodge Park enjoys a unique location in 35 acres of well-kept parkland, situated in Hadley Wood and Barnet in the county of Hertfordshire to the north of London. The slightly rural location allows guests to relax and truly feel that they are having a break from the stresses of modern life, with all the sights and sounds of central London easily accessible via tube. The hotel is close to sightseeing spots including Capel Manor Gardens, Myddleton House Gardens, the Royal Gunpowder Mills and Hatfield House, and for a change of pace Brent Cross shopping centre is 30 minutes away. The nearest tube station is Cockfosters on the Northern line, providing access into the city centre and with the West End of London, Piccadilly Circus and Oxford Street around 30 minutes away.
The hotel is very popular with business travellers due to its proximity to central London, free WiFi access and large selection of elegant meeting rooms. The extensive gardens and Arboretum are open to hotel residents for a spot of relaxation and contemplation, with outdoor facilities including croquet, putting, golf practice, clay pigeon shooting, laser shooting and quad bikes. The 24 hour concierge and reception staff are happy to arrange tours, tickets, laundry service, secretarial service and wake-up calls.
There is a large, free car park at the hotel.
Those chasing the English country house atmosphere will find it alive and well at West Lodge Park, with an array of attractive and traditional bedrooms that mirror the house's history. Each of the 59 guest rooms has been designed to a high specification and is unique within the building, mixing classic furnishings and design with a few modern touches. Rooms are available in three classes: standard, executive and four poster, and luxury. All rooms, regardless of categorisation, come equipped with LCD flatscreen television, tea and coffee maker, free WiFi access, ironing board, trouser press and deluxe toiletries. However, executive rooms have luxurious additions including walk-in showers, bathrobes and slippers and premium views across the grounds, and the 11 luxury rooms are set apart from the others in Chestnut Lodge and are complete with extra comfortable beds, mini fridges with complimentary water and coke, jacuzzi, sauna, bathroom TVs and patios. Every room at the hotel has its own ensuite bathroom.
In-keeping with the rest of West Lodge Park, the Mary Beale Restaurant and Terrace Bar is a mixture of traditional elements with a contemporary feel, reflected in both the decor and the menu. Open for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner, the AA Rosette-winning restaurant serves delicious and innovative fare with a focus on local produce. A pianist performs live during the evenings on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
