National Trust gems
The National Trust manages 2 places of interest close to this 4-star hotel. Chartwell House, a 30-minute drive away, was the family home of Sir Winston Churchill, and Selsdon Wood Nature Reserve, with its 200 acres of parkland and meadows, is a 5-minute drive away.
Selsdon Park passed through several private owners until 1924 when Allan Doble Sanderson bought the house and the accompanying 200 acres (0.81 km2) of land for £13,000. In 1924 the Victorian country residence was converted into a 24-bedroom hotel which opened in 1925, and the first lift (elevator) was installed. Between 1927 and 1930, the East Wing was built and in 1935 the West Wing was added. At the same time, the whole of the building was covered in brick to give a Neo-Jacobean appearance. In 1929, the golf course was added. It was designed by J.H. Taylor, five-time British Open champion.
In 1960, Basil Sanderson took over the running of the hotel from his parents, where upon he employed a young and up and coming hotel manager called John Aust. John Aust was instrumental in turning the hotel into one of the best hotels in the country. Improvements and additional rooms were added to the hotel, and in 1985 the leisure complex was completed at a cost of £1.5 million. The latest addition to the building, the Cambridge Wing, was finished in 1988 and has 25 bedrooms and a conference suite. On 13 March 1997, Principal Hotel Company purchased the De Vere Selsdon Estate and have since have undertaken a £2.5 million refurbishment, including a new reception area, additional conference and banquet facilities and a business centre.
