The Crown, Grade II listed hotel in Old Amersham, England
The Crown is a hotel with 38 rooms and suites housed in historic buildings surrounding a cobblestone courtyard on High Street. The separate structures are connected together and form a unified complex that preserves the typical layout of a former coaching inn.
The building dates from the 16th century and began as a coaching inn serving travelers on important routes. It was protected as a listed building in 1958, ensuring its red brick and slate roof would be preserved for the future.
The name comes from its past as a royal posting station where travelers once stopped for rest. Today you can still see how the original courtyard layout once served both guests and horses.
The hotel sits in central Old Amersham and is easy to reach by public transport. Visitors should expect some parts of the complex to be historic, so stairs and doorways may be narrower and lower than in modern buildings.
One room in the hotel still contains a hand-painted wall section from 1550 with historical details. This fragment displays artistic elements from the Tudor period and is one of the oldest surviving details in the building.
