Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons has been at the forefront of the UK restaurant scene since 1984. Affable and pioneering legend Raymond Blanc has kept two Michelin stars for the restaurant with rooms for an extraordinary and record-breaking 35 years and Le Manoir is deservingly considered a bucket-list must-visit for gastronomes in Britain and around the world.

The restaurant and hotel is known for being one of the best destinations for a celebration: a birthday, anniversary or graduation. But one thing that is often overlooked is how wonderful Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons is as a business destination.

To make the connection to business even more seamless, Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons has partnered with iChauffeur, the country’s leading chauffeur company with 20 years’ experience in carrying people safely across 100 cities in the world. iChauffeur works with only the most experienced drivers and has a fleet of the most luxurious cars including Mercedes, Rolls-Royce and Range Rover. iChauffeur also runs exclusive chauffeured tours across the UK, catering to customers’ requirements, staying and dining in the country’s finest establishments.

Arriving at Le Manoir in the hands of an expert driver allows time on the journey to work, or connect with clients before sitting down to an unforgettable seven-course feast crafted from ingredients grown in the hotel’s restaurant garden. If returning to London that evening, using iChauffeur also allows for the whole party to indulge in Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons’ incredible wine list.

One thing that unites Le Manoir and iChauffeur is their equal dedication to a personal, friendly and down-to-earth service. Le Manoir is known for never having had a dress code, Blanc always wanted it to be a place that anyone could come and enjoy. Today, staff maintain the same incredible standards in making everyone feel welcome while retaining the utmost discretion. Similarly, iChauffeur prides itself on an unrivalled service with drivers who are just as capable of entertaining passengers with fascinating stories as they are of remaining quiet to let their charges work (or sleep) without interruption.

It’s a partnership built on good sense and shared values and one tailor made for anyone looking to celebrate their team or impress a client with impeccable service and the best of British.
