WASP Hotels: Preppy Getaway at Chewton Glen
To uncover the ultimate WASP hotel estate, we figured we'd head back to the mothership -- the region in Southeast England where the original Anglo and Saxon tribes settled in the fifth century. Their descendents rule over most Fortune 500 companies, feel confident in Madras pants, and don't mind spending about $600 a night to stay at a place like Chewton Glenn in Hampshire, England.
The hotel ranks as the second best in the United Kingdom according to Conde Nast Traveler's 2007 ranking. Amenities in the 58 rooms include everything one would expect from a top-tier establishment. The spa, ranked as number one by Traveler, includes some masochistic sounding treatments -- cold drench showers and molten brown body treatments. Outdoors, golf, tennis, and croquet abound, naturally.
And through February, Chewton has mid-week discounts and "three nights for the price of two" specials. Not that you need the price break.
