Life beyond the suite

Just steps from the front door is Southampton Common - one of the city’s most cherished green spaces, less than 50 metres away. Peaceful woodland walks, open meadows and abundant wildlife make it a genuine escape for anyone looking to decompress after a long day.

The neighbourhoods around us - Bassett, Highfield, Shirley and Portswood - bring everyday conveniences close: supermarkets, pharmacies, cafés and some of Southampton’s best-loved independent food, including our exclusive catering partner, Uptons of Bassett.

And for a family day out, Paultons Park - home of Peppa Pig World - is around twenty minutes away by car.
