Alexander House Hotel and Utopia Spa

Alexander House Hotel, a luxury venue in West Sussex

About

Alexander House & Utopia Spa

Dating back to the 17th century, Alexander House was once the home of poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and author Mary Shelley — a heritage that lends the estate a literary romance quite unlike anywhere else. The dramatic Jacobean chimneys and grand architecture have been carefully preserved, while the interiors have been transformed into a five-star countryside retreat of genuine elegance.

Situated in the village of Turners Hill, the hotel sits within 120 acres of sweeping West Sussex parkland and is positioned within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty of the High Weald. Despite its rural tranquillity, it is conveniently placed just a short drive from the M23 and within easy reach of Gatwick Airport — making it an accessible choice for guests travelling from across the UK and beyond.

As well as its beautiful wedding spaces, Alexander House boasts the award-winning Utopia Spa, two acclaimed restaurants — fine dining restaurant AGs and brasserie-style Reflections — and 57 individually designed rooms and suites, including a private two-bedroom gatehouse. It is a venue that truly has everything in one place.



Spaces & Packages

The Shelley Suite & Gazebo

The Shelley Suite is Alexander House's largest and most versatile wedding space, filled with natural light and opening directly onto a private garden, terrace, and the venue's bespoke outdoor wedding gazebo. It comfortably accommodates between 40 and 80 guests for a daytime celebration and up to 120 in the evening, with a dance floor available for those who want to keep the celebrations going well into the night. Summer ceremonies on the lawn beneath the gazebo — guests seated in a gentle semicircle — are particularly magical.

Intimate Suites

For couples seeking something more personal, the Churchill and Asquith suites offer beautifully appointed settings for smaller ceremonies. The Churchill Suite is ideal for groups of up to 14, while the Asquith Suite is perfectly suited to micro-weddings of two to ten guests, both enjoying views across the hotel's south lawns. These spaces are a wonderful choice for couples who want the grandeur of a country house wedding without the formality of a large guest list.

Wedding Packages

Alexander House offers a choice of carefully crafted packages designed to take the stress out of planning. The all-inclusive option brings together the ceremony space, a drinks reception with champagne and canapés, a four-course wedding breakfast, evening buffet, resident DJ, dancefloor, and a complimentary bridal suite for the wedding night. A more flexible package is also available, allowing couples to choose and personalise individual elements to suit their own vision and budget. Intimate packages are available for smaller celebrations too.

  • Lottie and Darren, July 2019

    Our day was everything we could of wished for & more. We were extremely blessed with the sun shining on us, rather than thunderstorms which were forecasted for our day.
    It was so wonderful to have Rebecca as our wedding coordinator, we felt she went above and beyond to help ensure we had the best day. Zsolt is a very special man indeed, I can see why he is a manager of the banqueting team. Zsolt in my opinion cares about what he does & this really shines through in how he deals with people. Zsolt's amazing nature is just second to none & we are most grateful to him for all he did for us. Personally I'm one for appreciating good customer service, I really believe it's the people who you deal with in any experience who can make it.

  • Athina and James, July 2019

    We just wanted to say thank you again for helping us organise our wedding on Friday. We had the most amazing day and wouldn't change a thing!

  • Maddalena and Ashley, June 2019

    I don't even know how to put into words what an amazing day we had. Everything at the hotel was just perfect. Our guests all said what a beautiful location it was. We were so lucky with the weather as it just showed the hotel off beautifully. We are still buzzing from the day. Jessica the biggest thank you to you and your team who all helped to make our day truly memorable. You've been so patient with all our incessant questions. We will definitely be back next year for our anniversary.

  • Simon and Charlotte Leach – 08/2016

    We're writing to thank you very much for the use of your lovely hotel for our wedding last year. It was the best day of our lives and want to thank everyone that worked at Alexander House for the three days we were there! The service was amazing from our pre wedding taster evening till the last day of the wedding and we both can't stop talking about our special day at your amazing venue. Everyone was so great and the service was beyond what we could imagine, from the moment we got there till the time we left was like we were in a dream and didn't want the bubble to burst. It certainly didn't!!! Can't wait till our night at Alexander House later this month!

  • Laura-May and Liv – 07/2016

    We LOVED our wedding so much. It was so much more perfect than either of us had dreamed of - thank you so much for all of your help. We're actually coming back next Friday for a spa stay because we miss Alexander House so much!

  • Matt and Donna – 07/2016

    We would like to say a big thank you to the team at Alexander House for helping to make our day so special. The staff were excellent, especially Jaideep, and the food was amazing. All of our guests commented on how well the day went and were really impressed with the venue and service received.
    We look forward to coming back another time to stay and make use of the spa facilities.
