The Arden Hotel
——————–
Clearly a popular choice!
Chosen by: Annemarie from Travel on the brain
“Whenever I am in Stratford-upon-Avon, I love staying at The Arden. This elegant boutique hotel is located right in front of the Royal Shakespeare Company, where I naturally have to visit a play at least once. Strolling to the main Shakespeare sights can be done within 20 minutes, and tea time is delicious, too.”
Chosen by: Portia Jones from Pip and the City
“The Arden Hotel has 45 rooms decorated in an elegant and contemporary style, and is part of the luxurious Eden Hotel Collection. Make sure you have a pre-theatre drink in their swanky ‘champagne bar’ and a delectable dinner at their Waterside Brasserie.”
