Located in the historic British town of Exeter close to the natural beauty and riotous surf of the southern coast, The Magdalen Chapter is part of Swire Hotel’s British collection. Set in a voluminous 19th Century building that used to be the West of England Eye Hospital, The Magdalen Chapter is now a truly unique hotel.

Your deluxe room features designer furniture, a Nespresso machine, and a freshly docked iPad. The bathroom has a free-standing bath, monsoon shower, and designer products. In the verdant English garden, there is an indoor/outdoor pool, lounge, and library. The Restaurant serves a contemporary menu from locally-sourced suppliers with fresh and saltwater fish being something a specialty and you can even order your dinner from your room’s iPad before heading down.

The hotel also boasts little private ‘retreats’ squirreled away in the leafy gardens. The Spa has a number of treatment rooms and treatments are a mixture of East and West-influenced massages and healing techniques. The Magdalen Chapter is a place to enjoy the best of British.
