<\/a><\/p>\nWhen Robert De Niro<\/strong> first dined at Nobu Matsuhisa<\/strong>\u2019s Los Angeles sushi restaurant in 1988, who could\u2019ve predicted it would start a friendship that spanned into a worldwide hospitality brand? Now boasting 36 Nobu Hotels and 56 Nobu Restaurants<\/strong>, it\u2019s next opening a first-of-its-kind nature-led retreat in the Midlands<\/strong>.<\/p>\nNobu, famous for its signature black cod with miso<\/strong>, can currently only be found in London, but will soon launch a new countryside destination across 185 acres of Rutland<\/strong>\u2014partnering with the existing wellness-themed Woolfox members\u2019 club <\/strong>in Stamford on the development.<\/p>\nCredit: Nobu<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the very beginning, our dream for Woolfox has been to create a place where people can slow down, reconnect, and spend meaningful time together <\/strong>away from the pace of everyday life,\u201d said Chris Riddle, co-founder of Woolfox. \u201cThis partnership marks an exciting new chapter in that journey.<\/p>\n\u201cNobu is celebrated around the world not only for its exceptional cuisine, but for the care, warmth, and attention it brings to every guest experience. Together, we share a vision of creating something genuinely special, a place where the magic of Nobu can be experienced in a peaceful rural setting<\/strong>, offering something rare, memorable, and deeply personal for everyone who visits.\u201d<\/p>\nSituated close to Rutland Water<\/strong>, aka the \u2018playground of the East Midlands\u2019, Nobu Woolfox<\/strong> is being described as a \u201cnew luxury lifestyle destination in the English countryside\u201d. You can expect the new nature-led retreat to include lakeview rooms and suites<\/strong>, a Nobu restaurant and bar<\/strong>, a spa<\/strong>, and a gym<\/strong>.<\/p>\nCredit: Nobu<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a truly special location in the heart of England, surrounded by rolling historic landscapes and quintessential English countryside,\u201d said Trevor Horwell, CEO of Nobu Hospitality. \u201cFor the first time within our portfolio, we have the opportunity at Nobu Woolfox to create a special countryside retreat experience<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\nThis first-of-its-kind concept is thousands of miles (literally and figuratively) from the high-stakes excitement of Nobu at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Here, in the East Midlands, Nobu will pair its taste for luxury hospitality and world-class dining with a \u201cslower, more restorative pace.\u201d<\/strong> Although an opening date has yet to be announced<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Credit: Nobu \/ DenisShumov, Shutterstock When Robert De Niro first dined at Nobu Matsuhisa\u2019s Los Angeles sushi restaurant…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":957659,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7820],"tags":[855,748,393,4884,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-957658","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-birmingham","8":"tag-birmingham","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116568852231643517","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/957658","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=957658"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/957658\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/957659"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=957658"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=957658"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=957658"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
