The Buckingham Hotel enjoys a central location in the historic town of Buxton, enveloped by the Peak District National Park. The handsome sandstone building sits in a peaceful setting, with The Serpentine on one side and the delightful Pavilion Gardens to the front. It makes a comfortable and relaxing base from which to enjoy the unique attractions this part of the country has to offer. The almost mystical nature of the rugged peaks, bleak dales, picturesque villages and intriguing caves of the Peak District have been a major draw for tourists for centuries. The area was designated a National Park in 1951, making it the first National Park in Great Britain. The area has much to offer aside from its stunning scenery; the historic Chatsworth House and the thrilling Alton Towers are two of the UK’s favourite tourist attractions, while the towns of Bakewell, Matlock and Matlock Bath are hives of activity throughout the year.

Buxton’s fortunes grew from its spa; England’s upper classes would visit the town to take the mineral waters, which were perceived to have myriad health benefits. Clearly as Buxton’s popularity grew as a visitor destination, the town itself grew in size and stature. Buxton has one of the UK’s most impressive Georgian town centres, and many of the handsome and characteristic buildings have been preserved. The Opera House, the spectacular Crescent, Pump Room and St Anne’s Well (from which the Buxton natural mineral waters may still be sampled) are all within five minutes’ walk of The Buckingham Hotel. The attractive Pavilion Gardens, adjacent to the venue, contain some interesting buildings within their 23 acres, notably the Conservatory, Octagon Hall, Spa Water Pool and the handsome Bandstand.

Buxton’s Buckingham Hotel is an elegant Victorian hotel with 35 rooms, one of the region’s top restaurants and a wonderful hotel bar dedicated to providing no fewer than six thoroughbred cask ales at all times. Add to this the Buckingham Hotel’s famed warmth and genuinely friendly welcome and it becomes clear that this hotel really does offer an impressive package.
