Nobu Hospitality is pleased to announce plans for a distinctive new destination in partnership with Woolfox, marking the arrival of a Nobu hotel, restaurant and a collection of branded residences set within 185 acres of England’s most picturesque countryside.
Set in the heart of Rutland, near the Georgian town of Stamford, the project represents the first-of-its-kind concept for the Nobu Hospitality portfolio – a countryside escape shaped by nature, space and a slower pace of living. Bringing together Nobu’s signature blend of luxury hospitality, world-class dining and refined living, the development will offer members, guests and residents the opportunity to disconnect from the pace of everyday life and reconnect with the landscape, seasons and the restorative power of the outdoors, while signalling a thoughtful evolution of the brand into refined countryside retreats.
The Nobu Woolfox development will feature lake view rooms and suites, a signature Nobu restaurant and bar, curated food and beverage spaces, spa, alongside a collection of branded residences, creating a new luxury lifestyle destination in the English countryside. Plans also include extensive wellness and leisure amenities, with a dedicated spa, swimming pool and gym, as well as landscaped grounds designed to make the most of Woolfox’s setting. Nobu Woolfox will be positioned as a destination and members club, offering a distinctive countryside setting with convenient accessibility.
Rutland has become an increasingly sought-after destination, known for its unspoilt landscapes, historic English villages and market towns, with outdoor pursuits centred around Rutland Water, one of the largest man-made reservoirs in Europe. With direct access to scenic walking and cycling trails, along with sailing, water sports and fly fishing, the area offers a rich connection to the outdoors, while nearby Stamford and Burghley House further enhance its appeal as a year-round destination. Centrally located, Woolfox is within approximately one to two hours of major cities including London, Cambridge, Birmingham and Manchester, offering both a sense of countryside escape and convenient access to key commercial and cultural centres.
