The "White House" Or Beaumont Lodge Was Once A Jesuit Seminary

Upscale hotel and conference venue group Principal Hayley announced the official opening of ‘The White House Hotel’ a luxury 26-bedroom town house, part of the Beaumont Estate in Old Windsor. Over the last twelve months the group has invested £8.1 million in creating this boutique town house hotel; developing state-of-the-art meeting rooms and restoring the historic 19th century Chapel (sad) to create a unique and stylish banqueting venue.
Originally built in 1790 by prominent architect Henry Emlyn, the original ‘White House’ has been a private home, until 1967 the Jesuit Beaumont College,
a boy’s school and training facility for computer company ICL before it was acquired Hayley Conference Venues in 2003 and then by Principal Hotels in 2007 to become part of the Principal Hayley Group.
