Top Accommodations in England for Your ‘Bridgerton’ Dreams

Bridgerton Season Two Release

Today, March 25, my dear reader, the second season of Bridgerton debuts on Netflix. From the sneak peeks and trailers, it’s sure to provide the candy-colored costumes, feathers, jewels, and Regency era romance that made the first season a streaming sensation in late December 2020.

While some viewers might be disappointed with the departure of Regé-Jean Page’s role, fans of the Julia Quinn book series know there’s much more to discover about the Bridgerton family. This season, Viscount Anthony Bridgerton, portrayed by Jonathan Bailey, and his love interest Kate Sharma, played by Simone Ashley, take the lead. Expect a captivating journey through London and the English countryside as depicted in the book, “The Viscount Who Loved Me.”

Claridge’s, London

Mayfair is a prominent location throughout the Bridgerton book series, known as the place for the elite. While the Bridgerton’s London residence is filmed across the Thames in Greenwich, it is intended to represent Grosvenor Square, Mayfair’s largest garden square. Claridge’s is just steps away from this green space, offering glamor and five-star service that would impress even Queen Charlotte.

Brown’s Hotel, London

Brown’s Hotel claims the title of the oldest surviving hotel in London, having opened its doors in 1837. Although this date is 20 years later than the Bridgerton timeline, it’s easy to envision a duke or duchess enjoying tea at this historic venue. This esteemed hotel has hosted royalty, including Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II. This year, the property is unveiling a unique “shop like a Royal” package, featuring a private tour of the Royal Family’s preferred brands and exclusive access to luxurious ateliers nearby.

Elgin Crescent VIII and Bramerton Street II, London

Groups reminiscent of the Bridgerton family can explore various luxurious properties by onefinestay. Imagine the Bridgerton sisters enjoying tea at the regal Elgin Crescent VIII, complete with a piano for musical pursuits, while the brothers would appreciate the fully equipped kitchen in the antique-filled Bramerton Street II residence in Chelsea.

The Royal Crescent Hotel, Bath

For every Bridgerton fan, a visit to Bath is essential. This historical city served as a key filming location for both seasons of the show. A notable landmark, No. 1 Royal Crescent, represents the Featherington home; although it’s a museum, its neighbor, The Royal Crescent Hotel, features 45 rooms that blend modern luxury with Regency elegance. Positioned in the heart of the Royal Crescent, it’s a backdrop you may recognize from the series.

No. 15, Bath

No. 15, part of the GuestHouse hotel group, is conveniently located near the Holbourne Museum, which plays the role of Lady Danbury’s house. After settling in, stroll down Great Pulteney Street to enjoy a Bridgerton themed high tea at the museum’s café. Housed within several Georgian buildings, the boutique hotel’s art and design details are quintessentially British, featuring elements reminiscent of Bridgerton.

Lucknam Park, Chippenham

In the novels, the Bridgerton family’s country estate, Aubrey Hall, is located in Kent, but you can indulge in similar leisure at Lucknam Park. Just a 20-minute drive from Bath, this five-star hotel embodies the classic country house experience with afternoon tea and serene spaces perfect for enjoying a Julia Quinn novel. For an immersive experience, dress in riding gear and embark on a picturesque ride along the property’s tree-lined pathways.

Cliveden House, Berkshire

If you seek the opulence and intrigue synonymous with Bridgerton, look no further than Cliveden House. Over its history, it has transformed from a private residence to a war hospital and now stands as one of the finest hotels in the United Kingdom. The stunning grounds and grand architecture evoke the luxurious settings seen in Bridgerton, contributing to an authentic experience. For the ultimate experience, opt for the Lady Astor or Prince of Wales suite and enjoy a sumptuous afternoon tea in your room.
