Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons by Thomas Rousset

Belmond is collaborating with some of the world’s leading contemporary photographers to produce a collectable library of books, pairing each artist with one of its hotels in a collection of images that reflect each unique destination. For this volume, Thomas Rousset brings his playful approach to Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons in the Oxfordshire countryside.

Rousset’s images draw inspiration from two sources: firstly, from his own imagination of the lavish lifestyle of the British aristocracy and secondly from the unreal and fantastic side of the English countryside as portrayed in old British films. Placing ordinary objects and characters into strange and dreamlike contexts, Rousset disorients the viewer’s sense of reality and invites reflection on what is seen. His fairy tale-like images create a captivating visual narrative that does not merely showcase the hotel’s amenities but tells a story and invites viewers to project themselves into this exquisite environment.
