Welcome to Hotel du Vin Exeter, a
“contemporary wonderland”, as Alastair Sawday dubbed it, in the heart of this
sublime city. Take a step inside this iconic building, formerly an eye
infirmary, where historic walled gardens and striking architecture create the
backdrop for a truly special experience. As our newest property, this glorious
Exeter hotel brims with charm and unique personality, distinct from our other
hotels but equally impressive in its own right.
Hugo Dalton was inspired to mural our lounge wall, opening out onto the magical
terrace and garden perfect for sketching faeries, writing novellas or simply
sipping a glass of Pinot. If the weather doesn’t inspire you, a short meander
through our library certainly will, whilst the call of the bar and bistro is
sure to tempt you with its fantastic range of bottles and beautiful
French-inspired menus. Finally nestled in our relaxing walled garden, The REN
Spa is the perfect place to recharge your energies and enjoy a little piece of
tranquillity in the city.
