The Montcalm Experience flows through every aspect of the hotel, with a central theme celebrating The Garden – a homage to the site's ancient forest origins and Georgian garden design heritage. Including floral motifs and nature-inspired elements, this narrative weaves through three distinct yet harmonious aspects:

• The Art of Play: Inspired by Georgian garden design, celebrating the cycles of nature

• A Conversation Piece: Echoing Georgian-era paintings of intimate garden and domestic settings

• The Salon: Honouring the intellectual exchanges of Georgian salons, such as Elizabeth Montagu’s Blue Stockings Society.
