The man, the legend. Mr Michael O’Brien turns 90 today! 🥂

Following World War II, the O’Briens moved into Park House, a large country home that had been lent to the government during the war and left vacant afterward. Recognising its potential, Ioné and Michael O’Brien opened it as a hotel in the late 1940s. Their warm hospitality and strong ties to the home of British polo, quickly made Park House a favourite among international polo players, especially during the summer season☀️ 🐎

Today we host guests from all over the world and from all walks of life! From world-class sports men & women to couples & families looking for a quiet escape to the Sussex countryside. 🌲

Join us in wishing Michael a very happy birthday! 🎂

Our Story

The hotel today is still family-owned and has been run by the O’Brien family for three generations. It is over seventy years since our founders, Ioné & Michael O’Brien, first opened their family home as a hotel in the late 1940s.

Whilst visiting England to take part in the summer polo season at the nearby Cowdray Estate, many international polo players in the early years were encouraged to stay at Park House by the estate’s owner, the 3rd Viscount Cowdray. Michael O’Brien had himself been a keen polo player when he’d lived in India and his wife, Ioné, loved the game as well, so their close connection with the Cowdray family and Estate began soon after they arrived in West Sussex.

Since then the hotel has come a long way and under the direction of their grandson, Seamus O’Brien, it has been rebuilt and transformed into a luxury country house hotel with a wide range of sports and leisure facilities and the addition of a beautifully intimate spa.

The ‘home-from-home’ atmosphere remains today and is very much in evidence throughout, with small touches reinforcing this continuing story.

“Although my mother was small in stature she had amazing vitality and lived by the ethos that the impossible you do immediately, miracles take a little longer. What she packed into a day was amazing, her glass was always half full and she loved people, really loved people. Consequently all her guests felt very welcome, irrespective of who they were and they were all treated equally. She really loved their company,”

Michael O’Brien, son of the founders, Ioné and Michael.
