UK: Luxury brand Nobu Hospitality has partnered with members club Woolfox to launch a hotel, restaurant and residences in Rutland, located near the town of Stamford.
The Nobu Woolfox development will feature lake view rooms and suites, a collection of branded residences, a Nobu restaurant and bar, additional F&B spaces, and a spa with a swimming pool and gym.
Woolfox is a luxury lifestyle members club set within a 185 acre estate. It currently offers a restaurant (open to the public), with members’ amenities including a gym, indoor pool, sauna, a panel court, and a yoga and pilates studio.
Chris Riddle, co-founder of Woolfox, said: “We’re excited to be partnering with Nobu to bring its first rural destination to a truly special part of the English countryside. From the very beginning, our dream for Woolfox has been to create a place where people can slow down, reconnect, and spend meaningful time together away from the pace of everyday life. This partnership marks an exciting new chapter in that journey. Nobu 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, offering something rare, memorable, and deeply personal for everyone who visits.”
Trevor Horwell, CEO of Nobu Hospitality, added: “This is a truly special location in the heart of England, surrounded by rolling historic landscapes and quintessential English countryside. For the first time within our portfolio, we have the opportunity at Nobu Woolfox to create a special countryside retreat experience – one that offers all the hallmarks of Nobu, but in a setting defined by nature, tranquillity, and a sense of escape. We look forward to working closely with Woolfox to envision and curate a truly distinctive English countryside retreat.”
