Hotel Overview

Once a fourteenth-century posting house and now the oldest hotel in England's oldest recorded town, the Rose and Crown Hotel has been lovingly restored in Colchester, England. Oak-beamed rooms in the original timbered house sit alongside brighter rooms in the main building, each with its own entertainment system and free Wi-Fi.

Dining is a pleasure here, with the Oak Room restaurant offering relaxed, characterful meals that locals and guests alike return for. Guests can also choose between the hotel lounge and the traditional Tudor Bar and Brasserie for a drink before dinner. The town centre is a fifteen-minute walk away, while the Essex coast at Mersea Island and the historic sights of East Anglia are within easy reach for a day out. Explore Colchester Castle, the largest Norman keep ever built, raised on the foundations of a Roman temple, before wandering the old Dutch Quarter's timbered lanes. Book your stay at the Best Western The Rose And Crown Colchester and let Britain's oldest town reveal itself on foot.
