Nobu Plans First Countryside Retreat With Woolfox on 185-Acre Rutland Estate

The move signals a shift toward nature-led, wellness-focused destinations outside major cities.

Overview

  • Nobu Hospitality, which announced the partnership with Woolfox on Wednesday, will develop a hotel, restaurant and branded residences across 185 acres in Rutland near Stamford.
  • This will be the brand’s first dedicated rural retreat, extending a portfolio better known for urban lifestyle hotels.
  • Plans call for lake-view rooms and suites, a signature Nobu restaurant and bar, a spa, a pool and gym, landscaped grounds, and a set of branded residences.
  • The site is positioned as both a destination and a members’ club, aiming to offer a slower pace of stay with access to outdoor activities around Rutland Water.
  • Woolfox sits within roughly one to two hours of London, Cambridge, Birmingham and Manchester, and no construction start or opening timeline has been disclosed.
