ABOUT US
Beales Hotels
Beales Hotels is a unique business which has passed through nine generations of the Beale family.
The firm was founded in 1769, and today boasts a highly rated four-star hotel in North London and a beautiful boutique hotel in Suffolk.
West Lodge Park Hotel is easily accessible from both Enfield and Barnet and from the M25, and nearby transport links ensure that the centre of the capital is just a short train ride away.
The Bell Hotel in Saxmundham in Suffolk is a stone’s throw from Suffolk’s heritage coast. With a ten-minute drive to local attractions and a multitude of bustling market towns nearby, it’s ideally placed for a Suffolk retreat.
We are very proud of our staff, many of whom have worked with us for decades. Equally, many of our guests have been coming to our hotels over several generations of the same family.
Welcome to our website, which I hope gives you a taster of how personal, friendly and experienced we are.

Our history
A brief history
of Beales Hotels
The Beale family has managed West Lodge Park in North London since 1945, making it the highest-rated four-star hotel in the area. Originally part of Enfield Chase, a royal hunting ground from the 1400s, the lodge was rebuilt in 1838 and converted into a private hotel in 1924.
Beale Arboretum, established in 1963 stands as a testament to their dedication, housing the Plant Heritage National collections of Hornbeams (Carpinus betulus cv), Swamp Cypress (Taxodium distichum), and Indian Bean Tree (Catalpa). With more than 60 years of meticulous curation, the collection has grown to include 15 UK and regional champions as recognised by the Tree Register. In total, the arboretum boasts over 800 species of trees from around the world, with a remarkable total of over 4,500 trees.
