Nottingham hotels

With its location in the heart of Nottingham’s buzzy Lace Market district, this sophisticated boutique hotel is just a stone’s throw from the city’s artsy highlights. It’s set in a Grade II-listed Georgian townhouse, with 51 rooms ranging from smart double rooms through to spacious top-floor studios with roll-top baths and beautiful views of the city skyline.
All are equally sleek, featuring elegant decor with colorful accents. On the ground floor, the hotel’s charismatic on-site pub provides a cozy corner for a pre-dinner drink – be sure to investigate the rotating guest ales from local producers such as Pheasantry Brewery.
Meanwhile, the adjacent restaurant offers upmarket all-day dining – expect cooked and continental breakfasts, a laid-back daytime selection of toasties and pizzas, and an accomplished evening menu of classic British cuisine. I’d also highly recommend the afternoon tea – with generous platters of finger sandwiches, scones, and pastries.

Well-known as one of the best boutique hotels in Nottingham, Hart’s sits up on the slopes of the 19th-century Park Estate, minutes from the city’s historic castle, boasting panoramic views across the skyline. Designed by architect Julian Marsh, the hotel’s clean-lined design sits within meticulously landscaped grounds, with my favourites of its 32 rooms those that feature direct access onto a private garden.
All rooms come with king-sized beds and elegant decor defined by a minimalist palette and simple yet stylish decor. With two AA Rosettes, the onsite restaurant, Hart’s Kitchen, has deservedly become a culinary destination in its own right.
Here, the dining experience is shaped by seasonal produce and a wine list that skews toward smaller producers, while a faultless breakfast buffet shines a light on star local suppliers – including Rutland’s Hambleton Bakery and Dickinson & Morris in Melton Mowbray. Equally memorable is the exquisite service, helping guests feel immediately at home.

Although relatively new to Nottingham’s hotel scene, Heritage Mews has quickly established itself as one of the most unique hotels in Nottingham. Launched in 2019, this converted former schoolhouse has plenty of character, thanks to the many period details left intact during its restoration.
Each of the 12 rooms has its own unique touches, ranging from vibrant blue hues of the Calverton Suite to the pared-back neutrals and traditional decor of the Chantilly Suite. A particular favorite of mine is the spacious Heathcote Suite, with its chic cream palette and French doors that open out onto a private terrace with city views.
Although Heritage Mews doesn’t offer its own on-site restaurant, the hotel’s location in Nottingham’s lively Lace Market also means there’s a wealth of restaurants, bars, and cafés on the doorstep.

When it comes to grandeur, few Nottingham hotels can compete with Colwick Hall, a Georgian mansion that was once the ancestral home of Lord Byron. Two miles from Nottingham city center, it’s one of the best hotels to stay in Nottingham for those seeking respite from the city.
The elegant exterior, which makes it a popular wedding destination, is matched by the impressive communal areas and 16 striking suites. Named after famous historical figures, from Mozart to Wordsworth, each comes with unique period features – think original fireplaces, exposed beams, or roll-top baths – and a traditional approach to interior decoration that reflects the building’s heritage.
Named after the mansion’s former owner, the hotel’s restaurant, Byron’s Brasserie, offers a sophisticated take on classic British cooking. While the menu tends to change with the seasons, their regular Sunday roasts are a firm favorite, served within a vast dining room that always leaves an impression.
