What\u2019s the fanciest hotel you\u2019ve ever stayed in?\u00a0Perhaps it had a swimming pool or a spa. Maybe even a minor royal had stayed there at one point. Whatever it was, quadruple\u00a0the price (at least) and add on a couple of butlers, and you might start to have an idea of the sort of place that makes it onto the Gold List of travel magazine Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveller.<\/p>\n

The luxury mag has published its 2026 round-up of the fanciest hotels and resorts in Europe. The publication says its choices were \u2018an edit of what our editors consider to be the very best hotels in the world\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Of the 21 hotels named for 2026, three are in the UK \u2013 and surprisingly, only one of those\u00a0was in London.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Beaverbrook, Surrey<\/p>\n

Beaverbrook<\/strong>, in Surrey, was the first British venue to make the list. CNT described the 470-acre estate as \u2018iconic\u2019, thanks to the \u2018elements of its history [that] are woven into the interiors of the main house\u2019. The house is named after its most famous owner, Lord Beaverbrook (no relation to the watch company), who lived there until his death in the 1960s. The house was converted into a hotel in 2011.<\/p>\n

Outside the windows you\u2019ll see miles of green English countryside, and a \u2018marvel\u2019 of a spa is a must-visit during your stay. Rooms start at \u00a3490, but extras like food, spa access, and treatments, mean the cost of your stay will rack up quickly.<\/p>\n

Claridge\u2019s<\/p>\n

Claridge\u2019s<\/strong><\/a>, one of the most legendary hotels in Mayfair, was the next to secure a spot. The city centre hotel has been welcoming high-profile guests for more than 200 years, but is now best known for its 1920s art deco interiors, and city-centre location. Rooms start at an eye-watering \u00a3956.<\/p>\n

Time Out\u00a0named\u00a0Claridge\u2019s the most Christmassy hotel in Europe<\/a> this year because of its 20-foot designer tree and excellent usage of fairy-lights. Read more about Claridge\u2019s at Christmastime here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Coworth Park, Berkshire<\/p>\n

CNT\u2019s third favourite UK hotel was Coworth Park<\/strong>. Despite being only 20 minutes from Heathrow airport, the magazine described the estate as a \u2018micro-break and fresh-air reboot\u2019, far away from any distractions. Slightly more than Beaverbrook but still considerably less than Claridge\u2019s, a night\u2019s stay starts at \u00a3559.<\/p>\n
