Prince Rupert Hotel  

In the heart of medieval Shrewsbury, a grade-II-listed hotel sits amid cobbled streets and black‑and‑white timbered buildings. Steps from St Mary's Church and minutes from Shrewsbury Castle, it's also close to St Alkmond's Church, Old Market Hall, Henry Tudor House, Shrewsbury Abbey and Greenhous Meadow.

This 4-star, characterful property blends exposed Tudor beams, sloping floors and a restored Jacobean staircase with 70 individually styled guestrooms. Rooms offer ensuite bathrooms, high-quality pocket-sprung beds, fluffy towels, hairdryers, welcome trays, desks and coffee/tea makers. Accessible rooms and an elevator make it family-friendly and suitable for guests with mobility needs.

Two restaurants, a coffee shop and a bar keep dining lively. There’s a sauna, a hair salon, an arcade/game room and playrooms to keep kids entertained. 24-hour room service is available and on-site parking is offered for a charge (£10 per night). Expect wake-up views over cobbled streets and easy walking access to town attractions.

Meeting facilities (about 301 sq ft / 28 sq m), 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, laundry/dry cleaning and complimentary wireless internet throughout. Practical for small events or quick business stops.

Dining focuses on fresh local produce with a traditional British brasserie and an a la carte option. A tea room serves classic afternoon tea beside a grand piano, and a complimentary full breakfast is included.
