Essex — Red Lion

Opinion

The Red Lion Hotel is an historical Grade 1 listed building (c1465) located in the town centre of historic Colchester . The hotel is one of the oldest inns in East Anglia and has been described as 'a fine example of Tudor England'.

The Red Lion

The old Banqueting Hall, which is now the Parliament Restaurant, has a remarkable beamed ceiling. Some bedrooms are furnished with antiques and have a wealth of original exposed beams and wattle and daub walls.

This Colchester hotel is located in the town centre and there are numerous shops nearby including well known chain stores and smaller, boutique-style shops.

The hotel provides a retreat from the modern world outside, and the Tudor features and warm red and gold fabrics within the public areas are very relaxing.
