The Red Lion Hotel has stood proudly in the ancient town of Colchester for more than 500 years. Today it is part of the Brook Hotels Group which is committed to providing superior hospitality and preserving Britain’s unique buildings for today’s visitors. The Red Lion Hotel is housed in a grade I listed building boasting an impressive history; and this is evident throughout thanks to original Tudor features including exposed timber beams, wattle and daub walls and mullioned windows. Plush red fabrics and antique furniture provide a calm and homely atmosphere so that the hotel is a quiet retreat from the modern world.

The Red Lion Hotel is in the centre of historic Colchester in Essex with its plethora of high street boutiques, restaurants and bars. There is also a wealth of local attractions including Colchester Zoo, Colchester Castle and the Beth Chatto Gardens. Further, Epping Forest is situated in this part of the country and brings together more than 6,000 acres of open space, making it the largest area of its kind in the London vicinity.

Colchester’s Red Lion Hotel is one of the oldest inns in East Anglia. It offers 24 individually decorated en suite bedrooms with period features, the fine Parliament restaurant and superb wine cellars. Guests can relax in the inviting lounge or explore the delights of historic Colchester. The Red Lion provides a unique experience beyond that of many standard hotels, with a handful of conference rooms also available for a range of activities.
