Tavern Townhouse: Henley's elegant new escape
As featured in The Times by Cathy Adams
The Tavern Townhouse is set to be Henley-on-Thames’ newest luxury retreat, offering a stylish and serene escape right in the heart of town. Housed in a stunning Grade-II listed Georgian building, this boutique venue from Sika Inns promises a unique blend of historic charm and modern comfort, with six beautifully designed rooms perfect for a weekend getaway.
Just off Henley’s market square, The Tavern Townhouse is a true hidden gem. Spread over three floors, each room is named after local villages, Nettlebed, Sonning and Shiplake. Super king, four poster beds, sumptuous mattresses, elegant roll top baths, en-suite showers, Shaker style wall panels and muted tones create a calm, restful retreat that makes this the perfect venue for a weekend away.
Each establishment under the Sika Inns umbrella is thoughtfully designed to reflect its surroundings, showcasing the beauty of the local area while providing high quality service and amenities - and Tavern Townhouse is no expectation. Sika Inns is a distinguished collection of pubs, restaurants and boutique hotels that celebrate the charm of the British countryside. With a focus on creating inviting and comfortable spaces, they seamlessly blend modern luxury with rustic elegance, offering guests a unique experience that feels both homely and indulgent.

As Cathy Adams shared in her new review in The Times, “All have clawfoot bathtubs in the room, citrussy Henley Naturals smellies in big bottles, Shaker-style wall panels in muted greys and greens, and king-size beds; some have four-posters.”
