The Lion Hotel has the look of an old-fashioned coaching inn, with a solid, traditional character that sits comfortably on Bridge Street in the heart of Belper. It's the kind of building that feels built for hospitality, with public rooms geared towards eating, drinking and gathering, and it also serves as a wedding venue and meeting space for those wanting somewhere with a bit of history to their occasion.
