Stay where Succession’s Logan Roy, Kendall, Roman and Shiv stayed: all the location properties seen in the HBO series that can be rented in real life
- Logan Roy and children Kendall, Roman and Shiv were filmed in a variety of luxurious hotels and holiday rentals in the US and Europe. You can stay at them too
- Try a resort in a birch forest in Norway, various properties in New York, a villa in the Tuscan countryside or an idyllic estate in Barbados, seen in the finale
Over four seasons of the hit HBO television series Succession, the power struggles of billionaire media mogul Logan Roy (Brian Cox) and his offspring have played out against a backdrop of beautiful locations.
The Roys, their business associates and their love interests have private-jetted their way around some of the most luxurious and intriguing hotels and holiday rentals in the United States and Europe.
As Succession fans go into mourning following the recently aired grand finale – and most likely rewatch the entire series from the beginning – here is a look at the venues featured in the show that you too can stay at.
Maddox House, Barbados
The idyllic estate with green shutters, lush terraces and large swimming pool is Maddox House, in jet-set magnet St James, on the west coast of the island.
British theatre set designer Oliver Messel transformed the coastal house for himself in the 1960s and used it to entertain his friends, including Hollywood stars and British royalty.
The property was scouted for Succession by Emily FitzRoy, owner of Bellini Travel, who had organised locations in Italy for season three – more of which later.
For the first time, Maddox House is available for rental, price on application. Contact Bellini Travel for more details.
Juvet Landscape Hotel, Norway
The “Kill List” episode, in season four, saw Kendall, Roman and Shiv join tech tycoon Lukas Matsson’s (Alexander Skarsgard) retreat, ostensibly to finalise the sale of their father’s company to him.
The Landscape Rooms, which Kendall and Roman were shown staying in, are wood-and-glass structures on stilts designed to maximise the views. Even the sauna, based beside a river, has a glass frontage to take in the verdant scenery.
Gleneagles, Scotland
In the season two episode “Dundee”, Logan returned to his Scottish hometown and stayed at Gleneagles, in the Perthshire countryside, about an hour’s drive from the city.
The lavish hotel is surrounded by mountains and all the rooms and suites are stylishly decorated with sumptuous fabrics. Much of the filming took place in the light-filled Glendevon room, which is usually the venue for afternoon tea with views of the gardens.
Rancho Alegre, United States
The striking, terracotta-coloured compound is decorated with Native American and Hispanic influences, and includes a recording studio, chapel and infinity pool. It is bookable through Casas de Santa Fe, price available on request.
Oheka Castle, United States
Standing in for a Hungarian castle in the “Hunting” episode in season two is Oheka Castle, which in reality is on Long Island, in New York state.
The romantic-looking mansion with turrets, sweeping staircases and ornamental gardens, was built for an American financier in 1919 and is now a hotel. All the guest rooms and suites are decorated in the style of the Gilded Age, with mahogany beds and swagged curtains.
Whiteface Lodge, United States
Also in season two, the “Argestes” episode, named after a fictitious tech and media retreat, was filmed at Whiteface Lodge, in upstate New York. The rustic resort – all dark wood, stone fireplaces and antlers – is in the Adirondack Mountains, on the shore of Lake Placid.
You could also visit nearby High Falls Gorge, where Tom Wambsgans (Matthew Macfadyen) took the “culture hike” along the bridges and walkways, pursued by Cousin Greg.
Rooms range from one-bedroom suites to the four-bedroom Presidential Suite, in which Logan stayed, all cosily decorated with handcrafted Adirondack furnishings.
The Plaza New York, United States
The Roys headed to Virginia for a political conference in “Going For What It Takes”, in season three, in which Logan plotted over who he wanted to back as president of the United States. Although the exterior shots are of The Jefferson Hotel, in Richmond, the interiors were filmed at the Plaza Hotel New York.
Several scenes were shot in the public rooms and private event spaces at the Fifth Avenue hotel, which overlooks the south side of Central Park.
Of course, Logan held court in the Royal Suite, which includes a dining room, library and massive master bedroom.
Italy
For the last two episodes of season three, the Roys travelled to Italy. Firstly to Tuscany, or “Chiantishire”, as the episode is called, where Logan’s ex-wife, Lady Caroline, got married again.
The pre-wedding drinks party was filmed at La Foce estate, between Florence and Rome, in Val d’Orcia. The estate has several properties for rent.
The main house, Villa La Foce, where most of the Roy family stayed, has 12 bedrooms and a swimming pool, as well as magnificent gardens.
The wedding in the “All The Bells Say” season three finale took place at the 17th century Villa Cetinale, near Siena, in the Tuscan countryside. The 13-bedroom Baroque-style villa has its own chapel, where the ceremony was filmed, and beautiful gardens, in which the eventful wedding reception was set.
The Italian properties can be booked through Bellini Travel, prices on application.
All four seasons of Succession are streaming now on HBO GO, available in Hong Kong via Now TV.
