Babar

General information

The Elephant Hotel, set in the bustling village of Pangbourne, beside the River Thames, minutes from the vibrant city of Reading, offers a return to the opulence of the Empire. Beautiful handcrafted Indian furniture, rich oriental rugs, delicate fabrics - bedrooms individual in style but identical in attention to detail.

The Elephant at Pangbourne has two dining areas. ‘BaBar’ has a bistro feel, serving excellent local produce in a simple and classic manner, while our restaurant, Christoph’s, offers an elegant fine dining alternative.
You can even choose to dine al fresco in our enclosed garden (perhaps with a cold glass of Louis Roederer champagne in your hand - weather permitting!) whilst you mull over what to eat, or get dressed up and sip a Singapore Sling in our intimate cocktail lounge.

Come to escape, do business, relax with friends or unwind in style. Feet up or eyes down, you set the pace.
