History

Founded in 2016 by Bassam Shlewet, Hurley House Hotel is an independently owned luxury boutique hotel created as a sanctuary of laid-back elegance. Designed for those who appreciate exceptional food, refined surroundings, and genuine hospitality, Hurley House is a place where people can truly unwind.

The hotel features ten bedrooms, a stylish restaurant and bar, and private event and meeting spaces, all thoughtfully designed to balance contemporary luxury with relaxed comfort.

After a 24-month refurbishment of the former Red Lyon pub, Hurley House Hotel has been transformed into a welcoming retreat. From the carefully curated limited-edition artwork by Todd White to the luxury bed linen by Soak & Sleep every detail has been thought out to reflect contemporary style, refined elegance, and laid-back luxury.

Customer Reviews

Quite Superb

"Immaculate and stylish inn with fabulous food ( one of best breakfasts ever ) and by far the best team of staff locally - we ate out in Marlow 3 nights in a row and none compared to this lovely inn . It’s a bit out on its own geographically but worth the trip and Ubers . Aoiffe , Luca and Niamh were all outstanding members of management and the owner was around regularly and his attention to detail and investment is quite superb . Well done , we’ll be back ."
