Hotels in Warwick

Warwick's hotels range from country house spas set in the rolling Warwickshire countryside just outside town to small owner-run hotels built into the historic streets around the castle. Because the county town sits within easy reach of Leamington Spa, Kenilworth and Stratford-upon-Avon, several of the best options for a Warwick stay are a short drive rather than a walk from the castle gates, and are all the more peaceful for it.

At the upper end, expect country house properties with spa facilities, formal gardens and restaurants built around seasonal, locally sourced menus, the kind of places suited to a celebration weekend or a spa break as much as castle sightseeing. The mid-range covers Warwick's own coaching inns and hotel groups, many occupying buildings that have offered travellers a bed since the eighteenth century, alongside dependable contemporary chain hotels just outside the centre with easy parking and motorway access. For a more personal stay, Warwick's guest houses and bed and breakfasts sit within walking distance of the castle itself, several in genuinely historic buildings with owners who know the town well enough to point you towards the pub with the best Sunday roast.

Whichever category suits your trip, book ahead for anything falling near a Warwick Castle event weekend, a race meeting at Warwick Racecourse, or the summer school holidays, when the town's relatively small stock of rooms fills quickly. Outside those peaks, Warwick is generally easier to find a room in than Stratford-upon-Avon a few miles away, and often better value for a similar standard of stay.
