The Macdonald Compleat Angler Hotel is a famous and historic venue on the banks of the River Thames in Marlow, Buckinghamshire. Dating from 1640, the Compleat Angler is situated at the south end of the handsome Marlow Bridge; at the other end of which lies the beautiful Georgian market town of Marlow itself. The hotel offers stunning views of Marlow Weir and along the River Thames. The hotel was completely refurbished in recent years and has been the subsequent recipient of a tourism excellence award.
The Compleat Angler Hotel Marlow takes its name from the seminal text on the art of fishing ‘The Compleat Angler, Or The Contemplative Man's Recreation’, written by Isaak Walton in 1653. The text to this day is an evocative depiction of one of that most quintessential of English pursuits – enjoying life on the river.
The four-star Compleat Angler Hotel Marlow is ideal if you are looking for a base from which to explore the fabulous and intriguing River Thames, the Thames Valley and the Chiltern Hills, or to take in the historic and quintessentially English towns and cities which have grown up on its banks – Oxford, Henley-on-Thames, Windsor, Marlow and of course London.
There are 64 beautifully refurbished rooms and suites at the Compleat Angler Hotel Marlow, each one stylishly and elegantly furnished, and named for fishing flies. Many rooms feature superb views of the river. The excellent Bowaters Restaurant has been awarded two AA rosettes for its critically acclaimed and beautifully prepared British cuisine, which can be enjoyed on the riverside terrace. Formidable French dining is also presented at Aubergine, a sister restaurant to the London triple-rosetted restaurant of the same name.
The Compleat Angler Hotel Marlow has five well equipped conference and breakout rooms for an event venue with a real difference. Three of these rooms may be used for private dining events, and the hotel is one of the most popular venues in the area for wedding celebrations. Additionally, the Compleat Angler offers a range of leisure packages, allowing you to indulge yourself and float away into a serene paradise. Marlow’s Compleat Angler Hotel must surely rate as one of the most romantic hotels on the Thames, and what better way of experiencing the river than with a trip aboard one of the hotel’s three boats – with their own professional skipper at the helm, you can get on with taking in the scenery and perhaps enjoying a champagne picnic.
