The Denton, a new collection of retirement residences in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, has now put the finishing touches to a luxurious, dedicated guest suite which homeowners can book to host family and friends.
The one-bedroom full-furnished guest suite features all the high quality specifications found throughout every residence at The Denton, including an en-suite bathroom.
The Denton is the latest development to open from specialist retirement developer and operator Elysian Residences, on a four-acre site in Berkhamsted.
Alongside life-enhancing on-site facilities such as the Artemis Bar and Restaurant, a state-of-the-art gym, beauty salon, curated library and array of classes including yoga, pilates and crafting on offer to homeowners, the guest suite will help maintain and strengthen homeowners’ all-important connections to loved ones, with whom they can now comfortably host and share The Denton lifestyle.
The newly available guest suite will also prove particularly invaluable to residents who have right-sized from larger homes to one-bedroom apartments.
The Denton has been designed by award winning architects Collado Collins, with grounds and communal gardens by multi award winning landscape practice Bradley-Hole Schoenaich Landscape.
The Guest Suite is ideally located on the lower ground floor, with direct access through glazed doors to the vibrant sunken courtyard garden, and can be accessed via lifts or stairs.
The light and airy suite has been furnished in a classic-contemporary aesthetic, a true home from home, with every conceivable practicality and comfort needed for overnight and longer stays.
The central hub of the guest suite is the open-plan kitchen/dining/living space, the kitchen showcasing minimalist dark wood cabinetry and integrated appliances including a fridge, oven, microwave, washing machine and dishwasher.
Elegant crockery and cutlery, as well as tea and coffee, are provided.
The dedicated dining space features a sociably round dining table seating four, with modern open-shelved cabinetry displaying ceramics, plants and books.
In the living space, pale wooden flooring lies underfoot, with multi-layered lighting, a variety of seating and lounging options, a coffee table and array of indoor plants creating a truly welcoming feel.
The softly carpeted double bedroom has been inspired by Art Deco design, with a navy blue geometrically shaped headboard, crisp white linen on the bed and, hanging above, a glass and brass lighting feature.
In the indulgent shower room, heated stone floor tiles are slip-resistant, and on the heated towel rails are white, fluffy towels.
Homeowners can book the suite via The Denton App, or at Reception, at a price of £100 per night, which includes linens.
While homeowners can invite family and friends to spend the day at The Denton and use the community’s remarkable array of high-quality amenities, the opening of the guest suite now allows for a more leisurely stay, and full immersion in the facilities and lifestyle at he retirement village.
Homeowners and their guests can enjoy a relaxed espresso, glass of champagne or meal at Artemis Bar and Restaurant, or reserve the private dining room for a special celebration.
Kick back in the double-height lounge, or have a game of chess in the stunning library, surrounded by a shelving display recently curated by community bookshop Chapter Two with 1,000 titles, covering topics including travel, architecture, design, military history, health and contemporary fiction.
Additionally, homeowners can introduce their guests to the state-of-the-art wellness facilities, which include a gym and treatment room.
The Denton is just a 20-minute walk, 10-minute cycle or 5-minute drive from Berkhamsted town centre, nestled in the picturesque Chiltern Hills, offering characterful shops, art galleries, an independent cinema, eateries and cafes.
The market town has been crowned “The Best Place to Live in the South East” by The Sunday Times.
The National Trust’s Ashridge estate, with 5,000 acres of protected woodland, is just a 20-minute drive away.
Transport links are also excellent, both via rail and road.

Gavin Stein, CEO of Elysian Residences comments: “We are delighted to have now put the finishing touches on our sanctuary-like one-bedroom guest suite that is available to family and friends of The Denton’s homeowners.
“At our first retirement community in Hertfordshire, we are committed to providing the exceptionally high standards of quality and service that homeowners experience with all Elysian Residences, and to also place connection with loved ones and shared experiences at its heart.
“With the ultimate convenience of staying on the same site or in the same building, in a beautifully interior designed, fully equipped lower-ground floor apartment, homeowners’ guests can now enjoy the luxury hotel style amenities of The Denton in a leisurely fashion.
“They can enjoy meals at Artemis Bar and Restaurant, catch the sun in the sunken courtyard gardens, and take a class in the wellness suite.
“Day trips out can turn into relaxed evenings in the lounge or newly curated library, with guests able to fully share the journey of discovery so many of our homeowners are on.”
