Cowley Manor

Cotswolds – UK

Architect: Experimental Group
Typology: Hotel

A manor house in the heart of the United Kingdom, which contains centuries of history and which never stops renewing itself without losing its identity. It is the Cowley Manor, an excellent countryside hotel that has undergone a careful renovation by the Experimental Group and the interior designer Dorothée Meilichzon.

Cowley Manor has always been a point of reference since the end of the seventeenth century, then the property of the King. Built by skilled craftsmen using local stone, it has undergone several transformations over time. It was, for example, the first private building in England to use concrete when it still represented an innovation.

A curious anecdote has it that, in the nineteenth century, Lewis Carroll regularly visited Cowley, staying with friends in what is now the Old Rectory. It is said that Carroll wrote Alice in Wonderland, his most famous novel, taking inspiration from his stays here.

The epitome of luxury, the intent has always been to offer guests a refined and modern stay experience, in pure “British” style: the original layout with large rooms, the spa complex and welcoming rooms has been preserved.

The 31 rooms have also been equipped with new furnishings, as well as a series of modern amenities. The interior designer Dorothée Meilichzon managed to intertwine elements of classical and contemporary inspiration in decisive combinations, where mixes of materials and design considerations give an atmosphere of welcome and well-being.

In this prestigious architectural context, the Ritmonio solutions are touches of class that are immediately noticed and remembered. In the bathrooms, the skilful play of geometries and fluidity of Diametro35 Elegance characterizes the environments even more with an exclusive design, with original shapes and an intrinsic finesse, which last over time and go beyond fashions and trends.

Diametro35 Elegance marks a new balance between the value of the tradition of Cowley Manor and the technological strength of the present. The collection includes different application solutions: from the sink, to the bathtub and the shower. Precious objects, characterized by conscious lines, distinctive details and extreme attention to proportions and ergonomics, to ensure functionality and exceptional comfort of use.
The particular Brushed finish enhances the clever play of geometries and fluidity of the silhouette, for a current and harmonious look.

Once again Ritmonio confirms itself as a reliable and up-to-date partner in a continuously evolving sector such as that of hotels and hospitality spaces, which must be able to take new trends and needs into account. Research plays a fundamental role for the Company, which wants to continue to offer tailored solutions capable of improving the guest experience in different ways and transforming accommodation facilities into multifunctional spaces, without sacrificing style.
