Hintlesham Hall Hotel - A grand, early-Georgian facade (added in the 1740s) disguises the hotel's 16th-century origins. Painted a distinctive, soft orangey-pink with white stucco and large white sash windows, the main house is flanked by two wings either side of a broad, gravelled courtyard; original features include wood-panelled walls, marble fireplaces, plasterwork ceilings, windows with cased shutters and a 17th-century oak staircase. Grounds include a hedged herb and kitchen garden, lawns and small fruit orchard behind the house. There is a small, rather dated spa annexe and swimming pool. There are 33 rooms; 10 in the courtyard and 23 in the main house, many under the beamed eaves on the top floor. A rolling programme of refurbishment is under way, but some of the courtyard rooms are particularly comfortable with rich fabrics and smart bathrooms. One of the most popular is "Cherry Orchard", the room formerly used as a kitchen by Robert Carrier, who ran his cookery school here in the Seventies, with spacious sitting area and mezzanine bedroom. Main house rooms are mainly on the top floor, under the eaves. "Braganza" is the hotel's top suite, taking up the entire first floor of the south wing with a vast drawing room that has a historic ornately plastered ceiling.
