Kenilworth Hotel Guide - Kenilworth Castle hotels in Kenilworth, United Kingdom.

One of Britain's best-preserved medieval landmarks, Kenilworth Castle is a sight to behold at any time of year, and is the perfect day out for families, couples and groups of friends alike. It’s within driving distance of several hotels catering to all budgets, and has good transport links to the rest of the country via nearby Warwick and Royal Leamington Spa railway stations, and the M40.

A Castle with Plenty of History

Originally a medieval fortress, Kenilworth Castle was transformed into a majestic palace by the Elizabethan period, although it was originally an important military defence, subject to numerous attacks during the notorious Siege of Kenilworth in 1266. It opened to visitors by the late Georgian period, and has been carefully managed by English Heritage since the 1980s.

What to See and Do

Take a relaxing stroll around the enchanting Elizabethan Gardens, explore the fascinating Leicester's Gatehouse and see the beautifully restored Great Hall that has hosted many monarchs over the years. Enjoy afternoon tea and cakes at the Stables Tearoom, buy some souvenirs at the charming gift shop, and don't forget to visit the large Castle Keep that was used for entertaining royalty as far back as the 16th Century.

Special Events All Year Round

The castle organises many fantastic events throughout the year, from a special Easter Adventure Quest, to a children-themed Knights and Princess Academy and a Photography Workshop.
