View Gallery
The Red Lion Hotel is a historical Grade I listed building dating back to 1465. Located in the busy town centre of Colchester, Britain's oldest recorded town.

The Red Lion Hotel provides 3 star accommodation in a relaxing environment with great Tudor features which include beautiful exposed wooden beams and warm red and gold fabrics,. The hotel's central location in Colchester means that it is less than an hour from London by train and within very easy reach of Stansted Airport.

The Red Lion Hotel has 24 individually furnished rooms that provide all the amenities guests would expect from a modern hotel, but with the added comfort of plush Tudor style interiors.

The Parliament Restaurant at the Red Lion Hotel is a warm and intimate restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere in what was once the old Banqueting Hall, still showing its timbered beams.

Nearby there are a number of well-known chain stores and smaller, boutique style shops and local tourist attractions include Colchester Castle, Colchester Zoo and Beth Chatto Gardens

The Red Lion Hotel in Colchester offers great late deals and special offers on short breaks throughout the year.
