About

This stunning ‘modern meets classic’ boutique hotel, set in an immaculately restored Grade II Listed Georgian property, mixes contemporary interiors with Georgian and Regency period features; think spiral staircases and full-height sash windows. Located in an unrivalled position in the heart of historic, swanky Chichester, it’s a unique, atmospheric setting for a wedding.

Exchanging wedding vows with the person you love is the most significant part of your day, so it’s important to choose the perfect surroundings. The hotel has two flexible event rooms, The Guildhall Suite and The Priory Suite, both of which are suitable for wedding ceremonies, wedding breakfasts and receptions. Or situated behind the hotel in the beautiful grounds of Priory Park is the Grade 1 Listed Guildhall. With plenty of natural light, a beautiful stone floor and grand entrance, The Guildhall will add a touch of fairy-tale romance to any civil ceremony. It has seating for up to 100 guests. Surrounded by lush parkland, grand mature trees, a cricket pitch, bowling green and children’s play area, Priory Park offers further glorious settings and backdrops inspiring spectacular images of your special day.

In line with current government guidance, make your big day a magical one with our Intimate Weddings package. Create your perfect day in our Priory Suite, illuminated by soft candlelight and get exclusive use of our wedding suites for up to 15 guests.

For exceptional eating and drinking throughout your wedding day, our passionate chefs have prepared a selection of special menus – or you may of course create your own. We use only the highest quality, locally-sourced ingredients, that will delight your guests - to prove it, we’ll give you both a tasting session first.
And to ensure your special day runs smoothly we provide you with a dedicated wedding coordinator who’ll help you every step of the way.

The hotel has 36 luxurious bedrooms and one romantic private cottage. The happy couple have the option of staying in the ‘cottage’ for ultimate privacy. This cosy, self-contained and very private house is the perfect getaway for your first night together as ‘newly-weds’. And for your guests, we can offer discounted room rates if they wish to stay the night before or after the event.

The hotel is readily accessible for guests travelling from afar; it’s just 1.5 hours by train from London, or 45 minutes’ drive from Southampton and Gatwick Airports.
