Five minutes' stroll from many of the city's favourite sights, The George Hotel stands in the centre of Lichfield, England, within easy reach of the twelfth-century Lichfield Cathedral, the Garrick Theatre and leafy Beacon Park. The city wears its history proudly as the birthplace of Samuel Johnson, compiler of the first English dictionary.
Around the corner, Stowe Pool makes a lovely spot for a quiet stroll or some afternoon fishing, while the hotel's place on the Midlands motorway network puts vibrant Birmingham within easy reach for a change of pace. The National Memorial Arboretum at nearby Alrewas, with its thousands of trees and moving war memorials, makes a thoughtful day out, and Tamworth and its Norman castle lie close by. Walk out to Stowe Pool at dusk for the classic view of the cathedral's three spires reflected in the water, the only medieval cathedral in England to keep all three. Book your stay at the Best Western Lichfield City Centre The George Hotel and let cathedral-city Lichfield draw you in.
