There’s a lot of hullabaloo happening around Windsor, but for once it’s not all about the royals.
Tongues are wagging—and mouths are watering—about the latest development at Coworth Park. The hotel, nestled in the Berkshire countryside, just outside of Ascot, is a known quantity. Built in 1776 as a Georgian manor house for a prosperous merchant, it is surrounded by 240 verdant acres of hunting-and-hiking grounds. In the mid-80s, it was bought by Galen Weston, the onetime owner of Selfridges and Fortnum & Mason, who erected a polo field and held several memorable parties (so the legend goes) before eventually selling it to the Dorchester Collection group.
