The iconic fashion and home furnishing retailer Laura Ashley recently transformed the Edgwarebury Hotel into the Laura Ashley Manor. This is the first time that Laura Ashley has opened a hotel in its name.
As one might expect, the 49 rooms of this hotel in Hertfordshire are decorated with Laura Ashley fabrics and products from its current Home line. The gorgeous Tudor property is the perfect home for this hotel—alike Laura Ashley products, the hotel manages to pay tribute to the brand’s rich history as well as offer contemporary products.
By allowing its guests a temporary stay, the The Manor is a clever way to allow people to experience living with Laura Ashley Home products before actually purchasing them for use in their own homes.
