The Rougemont Hotel by Thistle Exeter, the new name of the Thistle Hotel Exeter, takes its place in a Victorian building at the heart of this beautiful and elegant southwestern city. The imposing four-storey venue is situated right next to one of Exeter’s train stations, convenient for those travelling by rail. The Thistle seeks to liken itself to the impressive remains of Rougemont Castle, which Victorian writers declared was ‘a gem set in the heart of Exeter’. However, it would be hard for any hotel to live in the same league as some of the elegant and charming buildings and sights that line the streets of this Devon gateway. Alongside Rougemont Castle there are ancient Roman walls - which are the best part of 2,000 years old - and the magnificent cathedral, which is sure to catch any eye. The roads in and around the high street carry a plethora of top shops, restaurants and bars. Alongside the location and attractions, this makes Exeter a great place to spend a holiday or to hold a meeting or event.
Exeter’s Thistle Hotel is some distance from its nearest sister hotels, but there are a handful dotted around the south of the country. This includes those at Poole, Bristol and Brighton, and over the border into Wales, the Parc Hotel Cardiff. The Thistle Rougemont Hotel Exeter is a fairly small venue with 90 rooms and suites, but each seeks to provide for the physical comfort and well being of its guests. The hotel’s restaurant and bar offers the chance to relax and dine. Here guests can enjoy a meal or a light snack or perhaps a drink or two in the evening. Throughout the hotel visitors are able to make the most of wireless internet access, which is no doubt particularly helpful for business guests and meetings. This Thistle’s conference and event rooms feature amenities and facilities in order to cater for a wide variety of different activities. There is a choice of room sizes and layouts. The largest of the function suites at the Thistle Rougemont Hotel Exeter is the Devonshire Ballroom, which is able to accommodate for more than 300 guests.
