Hotel du Vin is in the centre of historic Winchester. It occupies a landmark Georgian building that dates from 1715. During its conversion to the stylish hotel of today, great care was taken to preserve the wonderful original character and charm. Hotel du Vin have successfully created one of the most beautiful hotels in this atmospheric town.

There is evidence of settlement in the Winchester area dating back to pre-Roman times, as well as considerable amounts of Iron Age artefacts that suggest that the area was heavily fortified in this era. The town, then called Venta Belgarum, was of great importance during the Roman occupation, and following the departure of the Romans, became the capital of the ancient kingdom of Wessex. King Alfred the Great established Winchester as the main city of Wessex, and the town served as the capital of England for some time, until after the Norman Conquest when London took over the role.

Winchester possesses one of the country’s most magnificent cathedrals; much of the current structure was put in place during the 14 th Century. Winchester College was also founded around this time. The ancient Pilgrim's Way starts at Winchester running eventually to Canterbury. Many of today’s visitors to the city arrive on the promise of wonderful history, heritage and architecture, and Winchester rarely disappoints in that respect.
