Cliveden

The first house was built in 1666 by the 2nd Duke of Buckingham. A notorious rake, schemer and wit, he created Cliveden as a hunting lodge where he could entertain his friends and mistress. Since then it has twice been destroyed by fire, only to emerge, phoenix-like, more stunning than before. The house has played host to virtually every British Monarch since George I and has been home to three Dukes, an Earl and Frederick Prince of Wales.

Weddings, Civil Partnership Ceremonies and Celebrations

Part private house and part pleasure palace, Cliveden has always been designed and managed with extravagant social occasions in mind. As the present Viscount Astor remarked “It is a house in which to entertain, and be entertained.”

With its fairy tale architecture, lavish interiors and breathtaking grounds it’s hard to imagine a more romantic setting for a wedding. As well as our reputation for superb cuisine and outstanding service, we can offer a range of exquisite suites, a wedding breakfast in the Rococco splendour of the French Dining Room, and the Mountbatten Suite or Lady Astor Suite for the wedding ceremony.

Business Meetings and Conferencing

Professionalism, unbeatable service and attention to detail are the hallmarks of Cliveden as a meeting venue. As one chairman of a large UK public company commented, the quality of Cliveden's environment enhanced the quality of our debate and made our whole stay excellent value.

The finest of conference hotels near Heathrow Airport, Cliveden is just twenty minutes drive from Heathrow and forty minutes from London or Oxford. Cliveden is not only the perfect location for business meetings and conferences but is also ideally located for entertaining key clients, showcasing new products or quite simply thanking the team.
