Cedar Lodge at

Alexander House Hotel

by Samantha G

Exquisite luxury: check. Bold finishes to a beautiful 17th-century house: check.
Gorgeous food: check. An award-winning spa: check. A brand spanking new ultracontemporary hotel annex on the property: check. Really? Yes really! Introducing
the new Cedar Lodge Suites at Alexander House Hotel.

You know you’re on to a winner when every
time you tell someone that you are off for a stay
at Alexander House you are met with envious
looks, sighs with a slightly jealous edge and
exclamations of “ooh I love it there...” And it’s
easy to see why.
This 5-star hotel nestled in the heart of the
rolling Sussex countryside has been wowing
its guests year on year since it opened. The
problem, however, when your popularity over
a decade shows no sign of diminishin: how to
try and accommodate more guests, particularly
when you are based in an old manor house that
doesn’t quite lend itself to numerous extensions
and buildings. The answer? A bold and daring
vision that led to the creation of the Cedar
Lodge, home to 19 modern sumptuous garden
suites including its pinnacle, an amazing duplex
suite.
