Just down the road from Liverpool, Thornton Hall Hotel & Spa is a bit of a hybrid hotel experience. The rooms in the historic house are as classic as can be, while the Executive Garden View rooms occupy a distinctly 20th-century structure. All, however, are stylish in a colorful modern-classic way, and benefit from all the trappings of country-house hospitality, from the lavish spa to the fine-dining Lawns Grill.
