A new boutique luxury hotel brand - The Signet Collection - is to launch September 2020 in conjunction with the unveiling of the group’s first hotel, The Mitre at Hampton Court.
The Signet Collection was founded by Hector Ros, former COO of Longshot; owners of Beaverbrook and Bel & the Dragon Group.
The Signet Collection hotels will be highly individual and will centre around preserving and restoring authenticity. “We start with a special place. Our hotels have history, stories to tell. Each one is imbued with generations of tales, legacies, myths and legends. We unearth this history, these stories. We restore them, reimagining them, passing them on for our guests to enjoy, layered with a British sense of humour, top-notch F&B and memorable experiences” said Hector Ross.
The Mitre is a Grade II-listed property dating back to 1665, originally used as ancillary accommodation for guests of King Henry VIII at Hampton Court Palace. Set on the banks of the River Thames, The Mitre has 36 bedrooms and features a riverside all-day dining and wine bar, a brasserie and bar, a large riverside terrace plus meeting and events suites.
