Hotel du Vin Henley on Thames is located in an 18th century brewery building on the banks of the River Thames in the 12th Century market Town of Henley-on-Thames. Guest rooms are luxuriously decorated with monsoon showers or roll-top baths, air-conditioning, custom-made beds with hand-sprung mattresses and Egyptian cotton bed linen. Many of the original features of the character building remain; exposed beams, brickwork and feature fireplaces have all been preserved. There is a cigar bothy and a Snug with comfortable seating. Al fresco dining is available in the central courtyard and seasonal dishes are served in the French-styled Bistro. There are two bars; a Champagne bar and a pewter-topped bar with a wine cellar. Hotel du Vin Henley on Thames is well-placed for visitors to the Royal Regatta. Boat trips up the Thames are popular, as are visits to the KuBu Spa; a few minutes walk away.
