Five star luxury at Oulton Hall Hotel, Leeds | Hotel Photographers UK

Oulton Hall was built as a farmhouse in 1750. The house and estate were enlarged and developed in 1818 when a lake and lodge house were created. Landscaping was completed by Humphrey Repton, the English gardener who created the term ‘landscape gardening’.
The hall suffered a fire in 1850 and in 1852 the Blayd family commissioned architects William Perkin and Elisha Backhouse to create the new Oulton Hall which was completed in 1855.
Oulton Hall became a convalescent home for wounded officers and military hospital during the First World War between 1914 – 1918. Between 1928 and 1972 the hall was a hospital after which it fell into disrepair.
De Vere hotels acquired the lease on the roofless Grade II listed hall in 1991 and spent £20m converting the property into a four star luxury hotel. In 1995 Oulton Hall won 5 star status and a Red Rosette for the Calverley Grill restaurant.
