About The Palace Hotel Buxton & Spa

Built in 1868 to designs by Henry Currey, the Palace Hotel is one of Buxton's defining landmarks, standing above the town on Palace Road with views across to the Georgian centre and the hills beyond. Its scale is part of the appeal: high Victorian ceilings, a sweeping staircase and public rooms built for the grand touring parties who came to take the waters in the town's spa heyday.

The hotel's 186 rooms range from traditional doubles to larger family and feature rooms, and the on-site Health and Leisure Club includes an indoor swimming pool, gym and beauty treatment rooms, along with a restaurant and bar. Its five acres of grounds give it more breathing space than most town-centre hotels manage.

It suits visitors who want a proper hotel experience with leisure facilities, groups and coach parties, and anyone drawn to Buxton's Victorian spa history who wants to stay somewhere that embodies it, rather than a converted townhouse B&B.
