The Runnymede on Thames Hotel, nestled on the banks of the River Thames near Windsor, is a modern retreat with historical roots tracing back to a 17th-century coaching inn. Today, it stands as a revamped establishment offering 205 stylishly designed rooms, with an additional 25 new builds, providing guests with elegant accommodations that blend contemporary comfort with the charm of its riverside setting. Each room promises a restful night's sleep alongside amenities like soft bathrobes, TEMPLESPA products, and views of the Thames from balcony rooms. This location, only a 10-minute journey from Windsor, makes it an ideal base for exploring British heritage.
On-site, The Runnymede boasts a variety of activities including archery, laser pistol shooting, and river-based adventures like paddleboarding and boat hire, ensuring an active stay. The hotel also features an award-winning spa with indoor and outdoor pools, a gym, and a yoga lawn for relaxation or exercise. For those keen on exploring beyond, Windsor Castle, the Long Walk, and the serene Savill Gardens are nearby, offering cultural and natural excursions. The hotel's Riverside Lounge serves as a lively social hub, while dining options like Brasserie32 deliver British meals directly to your table, enhancing the stay with culinary delights.
Visiting during autumn provides a picturesque backdrop of the Thames with fewer crowds, though the hotel's appeal stretches year-round due to its indoor facilities. A lesser-known fact is the site's transformation; what was once a simple inn is now a sophisticated getaway with a custom-built theatre for live performances, making it a unique spot for music enthusiasts. For the best experience, booking in advance is advisable, especially for the new river-view rooms which offer serene vistas of the Thames. Additionally, guests might enjoy knowing that the hotel's location was strategically chosen not just for beauty but for its proximity to historical landmarks, blending leisure with a touch of educational tourism.
