About Mercure Salisbury White Hart Hotel
The White Hart has stood on St John Street since the 1600s, its distinctive white colonnaded portico facing directly onto Cathedral Close and giving it one of the best positions of any hotel in Salisbury. Now run as a Mercure hotel, it combines the Georgian public rooms of the original coaching inn with a large number of bedrooms, including a range of self-catering apartments in an adjoining building.
Bedrooms are decorated in a fairly standard contemporary style rather than leaning heavily on the building's history, though the lounge and bar retain more of the original character. The location means every room is within a couple of minutes of the cathedral gate, and the hotel's restaurant and bar are a popular stop for both guests and passers-by.
As a larger, well-known chain hotel, the White Hart suits visitors who want a predictable standard of room and service in the most central possible location, with on-site parking a further advantage in a part of the city where street parking is scarce.
