Every part of the hotel has been carefully considered, from the bedrooms and restaurants to the wellness facilities and family spaces. Led by acclaimed interior design studio StudioJill, the transformation celebrates The Ickworth’s grand Italianate architecture while introducing a fresh, contemporary feel inspired by the estate’s rich history.
At the heart of the renewed guest experience is a clear understanding of what families need from a luxury country house hotel. Guests are given space to explore, places to come together and the comfort to properly rest at the end of each day. Sleep plays an important role in that balance, leading The Ickworth to specify Hypnos Boutique Collection mattresses throughout the hotel.
The Hypnos Boutique Collection was selected to support the sense of comfort, quality and care that runs through the wider restoration. Handmade by British bedmaker Hypnos Contract Beds using traditional techniques and responsibly sourced materials, each mattress combines exceptional guest comfort with long-lasting craftsmanship, reflecting the attention to detail found throughout The Ickworth.
