Inspired by Coventry’s colourful history, Exclusive Collection’s Ansty Hall has undergone the first phase of bedroom renovations and is delighted to unveil seven newly reimagined rooms that invite guests to discover the region through thoughtfully curated interiors.
Following a refurb of the ground floor by Exclusive Collection when they took over the 17th century property in 2023, the bedroom renovations mark the next stage of the hotel’s upgrade. The Midlands country house hotel is located just outside of Ansty, a small village known for its historical weaving industry.
Two new signature rooms, named Leofric and Whittle, have been redesigned in partnership with interior design specialist, Russell Sage Studio. The Leofric room takes its name from Leofric, Earl of Mercia, one of the most influential figures of 11th century England and previous landholder of Ansty village, as well as husband to Anglo-Saxon philanthropist Lady Godiva. Its richly layered design encourages guests to discover something new at every turn, with an imposing carved timber bed, warm ochre fabrics and statement freestanding copper bath creating a sense of occasion and escapism. Leofric Signature Room; from £395 per night
In Whittle, a hand-painted cloudscape ceiling invites guests to look upwards. The room nods to Coventry-born Sir Frank Whittle, inventor of the world’s first turbojet engine and pioneering RAF officer of the British aerospace industry. Aviation-inspired artwork, technical illustrations and contemporary details celebrate the inventor’s extraordinary achievements. Whittle Signature Room; from £250 per night
A further five newly redesigned bedrooms take influence from local craftsmanship and the textiles industry, designed by Trevillion Interiors. Signature room, Woad, refers to the plant once cultivated to produce the famous Coventry ‘true blue’ dye, renowned for its rich colour in medieval England. Layered textiles, embroidered details, and bespoke furnishings create a contemporary room full of colour and a reminder that the most memorable discoveries are often those closest to home. Woad Signature Room; from £310 per night
Adding one additional bedroom to the hotels offering, Ansty Hall now presents sixty-three bedrooms in total.
Speaking about the significance of the redesign and the hotel’s design vision, Steve Ogden, General Manager at Ansty Hall shared,
We are incredibly proud of the history and innovation that surrounds Ansty Hall and invite our guests to uncover those stories through our spaces. Our new bedrooms offer a sense of wonder with thoughtful details celebrating local legends and the weaving industry of Ansty, inspiring a truly meaningful and restorative stay. Since Ansty Hall joined the Exclusive Collection, we’ve sought to be a place of discovery, and welcome all visitors to slow down, take in their surroundings and be part of the next chapter of Ansty Hall’s story.
This is the first stage in a wider restoration programme of the bedrooms, which will continue in 2027.
