Palé Hall – an 18-bedroom hotel that will open next month – is to become the first property in Wales to join sales and marketing consortium Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH).
The 19th Century Grade II-listed country house, located on a 50-acre estate in Llandderfel on the edge of Snowdonia National Park, has been restored by new owners Alan and Angela Harper and will open its doors on 1 September.
British chef Michael Caine – formerly executive chef of Gidleigh Park, Chagford, Devon – will oversee the food and beverage offering at the property, while Gareth Stevenson will take the helm as head chef.
Daniel Luddington, vice-president of development at SLH, said: “Palé Hall perfectly matches all that SLH prides itself on – independently-minded owners who have poured their heart and soul into creating their dream hotel.
“The hotel’s rich history, passionate owners and stunning Snowdonian setting gives it a fascinating story to tell. Palé Hall is a true Welsh gem that we are very much looking forward to promoting.”
The Harpers added: “We are delighted to have been welcomed into the Small Luxury Hotels fold. Small and independently owned luxury hotels with their own character is their speciality and we feel we fit perfectly within their portfolio.”
Palé Hall will join 33 other properties in the SLH portfolio.
