Palace Hotel, Victorian hotel in Buxton, England
The Palace Hotel is a Victorian building with ornate stone facades, bay windows, and extensive grounds in central Buxton. It contains 186 rooms, a health club with swimming pool, and multiple event spaces for various functions.
The hotel opened in 1868 when Buxton was building its reputation as a spa town with thermal springs. Its founding coincided with the peak period of Victorian spa tourism in England.
The ballroom preserves Victorian architectural details and continues to host conferences, ceremonies, and regional gatherings. Visitors can experience the original elegance of the space while contemporary events take place within it.
The hotel sits less than 100 meters from Buxton railway station, making arrival by train straightforward. Access to Peak District National Park starts practically on the doorstep for guests wanting to explore both town and countryside.
The grounds include designated areas for team activities that guests can use while staying at the property. These spaces allowed visitors to combine relaxation with outdoor adventure long before wellness packages became fashionable.
