Old Hall Hotel, Grade II* listed hotel in Buxton, England
Old Hall Hotel is a Grade II* listed hotel in Buxton with 35 individual rooms positioned next to Pavilion Gardens and Buxton Opera House. The accommodation offers conference facilities, free Wi-Fi throughout, and allows guests to purchase discounted tickets to nearby attractions such as Chatsworth House.
The building dates back to 1670 and includes sections built for Mary Queen of Scots during her visits to Buxton's mineral waters. This connection to a notable historical figure shaped the early years of the place and shows its importance as a retreat for nobility.
The hotel restaurant keeps British cooking traditions alive, serving full English breakfast and local dishes in a dining room that seats 90 people. Guests experience regional food in a setting where these meals have been part of the place for a long time.
The hotel sits conveniently next to major attractions and is easy to reach from Buxton town center. Visitors should note that proximity to gardens and the opera house means the area can be busier during events.
The hotel stands on the site of a natural warm spring and is England's oldest still-operating hotel. This connection to the mineral water that has drawn people for centuries makes the place a rare witness to Buxton's spa heritage.
