There's something special about seeing our riverside resort play a part in a historic sporting occasion.
Earlier this season, we were delighted to welcome the Arizona State Sun Devils to The Lensbury as they prepared for the Union Jack Classic at Wembley Stadium, marking the return of college football to the UK for the first time since 1988.
Preparation is about much more than time on the training ground. During their stay, the team took full advantage of The Lensbury's performance, wellness and leisure facilities. Alongside carefully planned, nutritious meals prepared by our Executive Resort Chef, players had access to our Elite Sports Gym, indoor swimming pool and recovery facilities, helping them stay focused and ready for game day.
Away from training, the team also embraced the opportunity to experience London. For many of the student-athletes, it was their first visit to the UK, and their itinerary included a memorable boat trip along the River Thames and a chance to take in spectacular views of the capital from the top of Tower Bridge.
Following a week of preparation, the Sun Devils went on to secure a memorable 24-17 victory over Kansas at Wembley, making history as part of college football's long-awaited return to the UK.
At The Lensbury, we're proud to provide an environment where elite athletes can train, recover and perform at their best, while also enjoying memorable experiences beyond their sport. Welcoming the Sun Devils was a privilege, and we were delighted to be part of their UK journey.
We'd like to thank the Arizona State Sun Devils for choosing The Lensbury as their home away from home and wish them every success for the season ahead.
