du Vin Henley
Heritage-industrial-meets-boutique. Georgian brick exterior, exposed brewery beams inside, wine-forward culture throughout. Relaxed and grown-up, not fussy.
The Signature RiverView Suite (named 'Comtes de Champagne') has a stained-glass window and a private balcony directly overlooking the Regatta finish line — worth booking a year ahead for Regatta week
Why It Matters
Set in the converted Brakspear Brewery (brewing ended 2002), this is one of the most characterful Hotel du Vin properties in the chain. The riverside Riverview and Signature Suites with private heated Thames-facing balconies are genuinely unique — especially during the annual Henley Royal Regatta.
Hotel du Vin Henley-on-Thames is a 43-room boutique hotel built inside the beautifully restored Brakspear Brewery — a site that was brewing beer in Henley from the early 18th century all the way until 2002. The original brickwork, beams, and industrial features are all still here. It sits right on the River Thames, about 35 miles west of central London, and was tastefully renovated and relaunched for 2026. The wine program is the real draw: over 600 bottles in the cellar, a sommelier on hand, and wine-paired tasting menus. No pool, no spa. But the Riverview Suites with heated balconies overlooking the Thames are genuinely spectacular, especially during Regatta season.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Classic Room
Named after Laroche, the historic Chablis estate. A comfortable double bed and an ensuite bathroom with either a bath and shower over or a shower only. The entry-level option — straightforward, well-fitted, and done with the brand's usual care.
Double
Deluxe Room
Named after Yalumba, the Australian wine producer. Steps up to a king-size bed and either a roll-top bath in the bedroom or ensuite, plus a separate walk-in monsoon shower. Some rooms look out over the courtyard.
King
Deluxe Twin Room
Named after Cognac André Petit. Same configuration as the Deluxe but with twin beds instead of king — roll-top bath in bedroom or ensuite, separate walk-in monsoon shower. Good option for two friends or family.
Twin
Junior Suite
Named after Taylor's Port, the historic Douro Valley house. An open-plan space with a king-size bed, a pair of armchairs, and a spacious bathroom featuring both a roll-top bath and a walk-in monsoon shower. Adds a Nespresso machine and bathrobe/slippers over the Deluxe tier.
KingRiverview Suite
Named after Laurent Perrier or Lallier. Elegant suites with a king-size bed, seating area, and an upstairs open-plan bathroom. The standout feature: a private heated balcony with French windows opening directly onto Thames views. Perfect for watching the Regatta go by.
KingSignature Duplex Suite
Two distinct suites: 'Belle Epoque' and 'Laurent Perrier Duplex'. Both are split-level with a king bed. Belle Epoque has twin roll-top baths and a dramatic 16ft arched window with church views. Laurent Perrier Duplex has a twin wet room. Named after two Champagne houses — these are the drama rooms.
KingSignature RiverView Suite
The flagship suite, named 'Comtes de Champagne'. The hotel's most spacious room — king-size bed, a separate lounge, upstairs open-plan bathroom with roll-top bath, and a stained-glass window that adds real warmth.
