Hart's Hotel

About Hart's Hotel

Hart's Hotel occupies a striking modern building set into the line of Nottingham's old town walls, immediately beneath the castle and a short walk from the Lace Market. It is one of the city's longest-established boutique hotels, run independently rather than as part of a chain, and the rooms are large by city-centre standards, several with private terraces looking out over the rooftops towards the Old Market Square.

The hotel's restaurant has built its own following separate from the rooms, serving modern British food with a seasonal, produce-led menu, and the small bar makes a good spot for a pre-dinner drink even for non-residents. Rooms are finished in a clean, understated style with underfloor bathroom heating and Egyptian cotton linen rather than heavy period decor, reflecting the building's genuinely modern construction despite its historic setting.

Its position on Standard Hill puts the castle, the caves beneath Nottingham and the Lace Market all within a few minutes on foot, while the elevated site means a quieter night's sleep than many hotels right in the thick of the Old Market Square nightlife. Private parking is available on site, a genuine advantage in this part of the centre.
