The Prince Rupert Hotel Shrewsbury is named for the royal soldier, nephew of King Charles I and grandson of King James I, who lived in the building in the early 17th century. The historic ambience is evident throughout this appealing Tudor venue, and it makes a great accommodation choice during your time in Shrewsbury. This three-star Shrewsbury hotel is family-owned and privately run, guaranteeing a more personal stay. A large investment has seen the expansion and updating of the facilities while retaining the structure’s period charm, giving guests the best of both worlds: a modern hotel in a traditional setting.
Shrewsbury’s Prince Rupert Hotel offers an eclectic selection of 70 en suite bedrooms. Typical hotel accommodation is provided within the standard rooms and refurbished superior bedrooms. A more atmospheric choice is offered within the 15th century Tudor suites and the 12th century Mansion House suites. These suites have used the venue’s period features to create bedrooms that hark back to earlier times, but with modern luxuries. The Mansion House suites in particular enjoy such additions as four-poster beds, and/or Victorian stand-alone bathtubs.
There is a range of period-inspired suites that can be used for personal celebrations such as wedding receptions, or professional meetings and boardroom events at the Prince Rupert Hotel. The largest room is the Darwin Suite, which contains a bar and dance-floor area and a maximum capacity of 120 guests. For a more intimate occasion, the Rupert Lounge is ideal for private dining for up to 20 guests.
The Prince Rupert Hotel Shrewsbury has a host of facilities that belies its three-star status. There are three restaurants, including the 12th century Royalist Restaurant, the Tudor Chambers Restaurant, and a short walk from the venue itself, La Trattoria with its tasty Italian menu. Alternatively, Camellias Tea Rooms at the hotel is the best spot in which to enjoy afternoon tea. The hotel also offers a fitness suite with exercise equipment, sauna, and even a small beauty salon for spa treatments.
