Early 20th-century media tycoon Lord Beaverbrook was known for throwing legendary parties at his country house in Surrey, which hosted everyone from Hollywood royalty like Elizabeth Taylor to historical figures such as Winston Churchill.
So it’s fitting that Tom Holland and Zendaya, currently one of Hollywood’s most famous couples, reportedly chose the 160-year-old neo-classical mansion to celebrate their own starry nuptials. The duo, who appear in not one but two blockbuster movies this summer (“The Odyssey” and “Spider-Man: Brand New Day”), are believed to have had a three-day post-nuptial party at Beaverbrook this week, with a guest list said to include Timothée Chalamet, Kylie Jenner and Robert Downey Jr. (The couple are thought to have officially tied the knot earlier this year).
After falling into disrepair, the chateau-style “wedding cake” house was acquired in 2010 by hoteliers Joel Cadbury (a descendant of the chocolate dynasty) and Ollie Vigors, who spent years redeveloping it into a five-star hotel and spa, where rooms — named after Beaverbrook’s illustrious former guests including Taylor and James Bond creator Ian Fleming — start at £755 ($1,015) a night this week. (Other rooms are named for actor Charlie Chaplin, “The Jungle Book” writer Rudyard Kipling and “The War of the Worlds” author H.G. Wells.)
