Named after the famous playwright who was born and buried in the beautiful town, the Shakespeare Hotel Stratford fits in well with its impressive historic surroundings and namesake’s prestigious reputation. Not only is the hotel’s Tudor exterior an elegant feast for the eyes, the interior also boasts lovely traditional features, what with the likes of fireplaces, uneven floors and antique furnishings. The property is ideal for those looking for a place to stay right at the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon and is suitable for conferences, parties and those simply taking a break in the region.
The grade-I-listed Shakespeare Stratford Hotel lies on Chapel Street in the town centre and in the wider county of Warwickshire in central England. Nearby are the likes of the Cotswold Hills as well as Birmingham – England’s second city – and towns such as Warwick and Leamington Spa. Access to the region is made straight forward thanks to the M40, a train station in the town centre and Birmingham Airport 25 miles away.
There is plenty to do when staying at the Shakespeare Hotel in Stratford-upon-Avon, some of which is based around the town’s literary history. There are many impressive buildings around Stratford while the River Avon rolls serenely through the settlement. Other attractions in and around the town include the Butterfly Farm, a number of houses Shakespeare once lived in, Warwick Castle and the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. After all, when in the town why miss out on an opportunity to see a play, perhaps penned by the Bard himself.
