The Stafford London by Kempinski @ 'Horcierge’ Services

 The Stafford London by Kempinski has teamed up with The Riding Club London to offer their guests bespoke ‘Horcierge’ services which cover both basic and advanced riding needs guests can also pick and choose from the Horcierge’s extensive menu to meet their riding abilities and schedule. What makes The Stafford even more fitting to offer such a service is its Carriage House. Originally built as stables to house the thoroughbreds of the nobility, the Carriage House later became the home of an antiquarian bookseller and a workshop for a fine art framer. As a testament to the building’s past, the ground floor rooms and suites retain their stable doors and bear the names of famous horses. All rooms overlook the 18th century stable yard.

 "The Carriage House was originally built to house the most remarkable thoroughbreds", says Leon Baum, General Manager of The Stafford. "Therefore, it is logical for us to offer equestrian packages. We are very fortunate to have won the Riding Club London as our partner for the ‘Horcierge’ services. Whilst we are experts at looking after our guests under our roof, we now feel confident that this experience will be matched perfectly when they are out and about on horseback.”
