A leading London hotel has started to offer a ‘hocierge’ service! The Stafford London, by Kempinski, has teamed up with The Riding Club London to offer guests riding packages in the capital.
Guests will be able to enjoy a morning ride in one of the Royal parks, a personal shopper to allow them to buy jodhpurs , a VIP Tour of the British Military Stables or a lesson in side-saddle, polo or carriage driving.
The Stafford even has its own Carriage House. Originally built as stables to house the thoroughbreds of the nobility, the Carriage House later became the home of an antiquarian bookseller and a workshop for a fine art framer. As a testament to the building’s past, the ground floor rooms and suites retain their stable doors and bear the names of famous horses.
All rooms overlook an 18th century stable yard and to celebrate the new Horcierge service one of the suites has been transformed into an equestrian paradise. Equipped with a stunning Stevenson Brothers rocking horse, Bernard Weatherill clothing, a Lock & Co riding hat, a pair of Lobb & Sons riding boots, a saddle, dandy brush and polo mints and sugar cubes in the minibar for a guest’s horse.
The Equestrian Package is from £1,848 for two sharing. It includes two nights’ accommodation in a Carriage House room on a B&B basis.
After breakfast, guests will be picked up and taken to Windsor Great Park where they will be met by The Riding Club London Concierge and their horses for a breath-taking two hour ride through the park.
