Accor’s Emblems Collection debuts globally with first property in the United Kingdom
Set within 500 acres of rolling countryside, only six miles from Bath, Lucknam Park Hotel and Spa, Emblems Collection, combines stately grandeur with modern comfort.
The estate features two restaurants, one Michelin-starred offering from Head Chef Hywel Jones and the Walled Garden Restaurant, an award-winning wellness spa, an equestrian centre, and beautifully preserving gardens. It offers an authentic taste of English country house living at its finest.
The 42 individually designed rooms and suites, and nine luxurious cottages, make it a sought-after escape for discerning travellers.
The move to join Emblems has introduced a refreshed phase of subtle enhancements, carefully preserved the estate’s historic soul while infusing it with a thread of superior hospitality and service, characteristic of the collection.
Over 900 years of history lie within these tranquil walls, which have seen a humble farmstead evolve into a grand estate shaped by generations of dreamers.
Lucknam Park now becomes the first hotel to join the Emblems Collection and embodies the brand philosophy of elevated intimacy, rooted in heritage with an understated yet signature presence.
Each hotel in the Emblems Collection celebrates unique, character-rich properties that reflect the soul of their destination, from grand heritage mansions to contemporary architectural icons and serene nature retreats.
Championing a philosophy of quiet luxury, Emblems Collection is made for the culturally curious and offers guests intimate, exclusive stays that blend thoughtful design, exceptional craftsmanship, and authentic ties to local heritage and landscape in the world’s most captivating and distinctive places.
“Emblems Collection is built around the essence of understated, quiet luxury – where true elegance lies in a timeless sense of exclusivity and intimacy,” said Accor’s CEO for Sofitel Legend, Sofitel, MGallery and Emblems Collection, Maud Bailly.
“We carefully select iconic properties and destinations that allow our guests to reconnect with themselves, far from the noise of everyday life. In a fast-paced world, we value privacy and tranquillity, offering sanctuaries where luxury isn’t loud, but deeply felt.
“Each Emblems Collection hotel embodies authenticity, grace, and soul – because it’s not just beauty that defines a place; it’s the soul that makes it unforgettable. It’s the soul that makes Emblems.”
