Phyllis Court Members Club

Historic Charm Meets Riverside Concert Convenience

Modern music lovers meet English heritage at Phyllis Court Members Club, a stunning manor-turned-hotel with roots dating back to 1301. Set right on the banks of the Thames in Henley, this elegant stay combines old-world charm with contemporary comfort. You're just a short walk or drive from Henley's popular event spaces — and right at the finish line of the famous Royal Regatta. With 17 individually decorated rooms, lush gardens, and river views, this is a peaceful base for music fans who want a touch of sophistication with their show-going.

Why Concert-goers love it

Phyllis Court’s idyllic riverside location puts you close to Henley’s concert and event venues while giving you a peaceful retreat after the show. Many rooms face the Thames or perfectly manicured gardens, creating a quiet atmosphere ideal for post-concert wind-downs. With check-in from 15:00 and check-out at 10:30, it’s easy to squeeze in a leisurely breakfast or riverside stroll before hitting the road. The hotel is well-connected by local transport, and onsite parking makes things even easier.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a classy weekend base
• Solo travelers attending a special event in Henley
• Couples making a romantic weekend of it
• Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
• Budget-conscious music fans who value charm over chains

Food and Drink Options

Dining is a highlight here, with a variety of options from tapas and sandwiches to three-course meals and hearty Sunday roasts. There are two bars serving drinks throughout the day, perfect for a pre-show toast or nightcap. And if you’re waking up late after a gig, you’ll be pleased to know breakfast includes both continental and full English options to ease you into the day.

Nightlife Options

While the club itself is more about refined relaxation than late-night revelry, you’re a short walk from Henley’s pubs, wine bars, and cocktail lounges. Whether you're into riverside drinks or live acoustic sets, you’ll find something nearby. Back at the hotel, the two bars offer a more low-key and classy vibe — ideal for those who’d rather unwind than turn up.

What People Say

Guests rave about the picturesque location, exceptional service, and elegant atmosphere. The gardens and river views are often highlighted, as is the high-quality food. Many say staying here feels like being part of a private club — because you are, with temporary membership included in your stay.

Areas for Improvement

Check-out time is a bit early at 10:30 am, which might feel rushed after a late night out. Also, the hotel has a more traditional, quiet atmosphere — so if you're looking for a party scene, this may not be your vibe. But if you want comfort and calm, it’s spot on.

The Bottom Line

Phyllis Court Members Club is a perfect pick for concert-goers who want a refined, restful stay within easy reach of Henley’s music and event scene.
