Donington Manor Hotel, Castle Donington - A Characterful Coaching Inn Reimagined
The Donington Manor Hotel, a landmark within the village of Castle Donington, began life as an 18th-century coaching inn. It has since been thoughtfully extended to create a unique hotel that masterfully balances old and new, offering a charming refuge for those seeking character and comfort. It stands out as a perfect choice whether you're planning a Park and Fly escape before a holiday or require accommodation near Donington Park during track events.
Location
Donington Manor Hotel's location in the heart of the East Midlands, just 10 km from East Midlands Airport, is hard to beat for accessibility. Situated right in the centre of the country, it offers excellent transport links by road, rail, and air, making it an ideal base for exploration or a convenient stopover.
Style and Character
This beautiful restaurant retains many of the original features characteristic of its Grade II listed heritage. Visitors are often drawn to admire the original features, including the horse steps at the front of the building and the service bells in the old scullery. Within the main house, original fireplaces add warmth and history. The dramatic curved sash windows, ornate cornice and ceiling, and stunning chandeliers all speak to its past grandeur. The distinctive style extends to the inviting lounge bar and a collection of private event rooms, all of which attract locals and hotel guests alike, creating an atmosphere that is both elegant and welcoming.
Service and Facilities
The hotel's team possesses a chic, modern attitude towards comfort, relaxation, and personalised service. While the hotel's history is palpable, the service is contemporary and impeccable.

Cashless payment facilities and contactless procedures have been adopted for guest safety. All meeting rooms enjoy free Wi-Fi access, natural daylight, and views across the hotel garden and lawns.
Rooms
The individually styled rooms are truly ideal for any special occasion. Bedrooms at Donington Manor Hotel range from comfortable and functional, some enjoying unrestricted garden views, to the gloriously grand and antique. Certain rooms feature four-poster beds or other historic elements within the original building. Entry-level rooms offer amenities such as a flat-screen digital TV, tea and coffee-making facilities, a hairdryer, iron and ironing board, and Aveda toiletries, with a maximum occupancy of two. Larger rooms may feature a separate lounge area, a large bathroom, and window seats, with some offering garden access and a private terrace. For those celebrating in style, larger event rooms are available.

The bar and lounge area offer a welcoming space for guests to enjoy a bite to eat with friends and family amidst cosy surroundings and light music. The brand-new bar menu, inspired by the new Chef, brings together modern and traditional flavours. For a more formal dining experience, the hotel showcases a team of AA Rosette Award-winning Chefs, promising a high standard of culinary excellence.

The inclusion of free Wi-Fi and the quality associated with AA Rosette-awarded chefs contribute to a sense of good value.
Accessibility
While the hotel retains many historic features, including original fireplaces and ornate detailing, specific details regarding accessibility for wheelchair users or those with mobility issues are not detailed here. Guests requiring specific accommodations are advised to contact the hotel directly to ensure their needs can be met.
Family-Friendly
The hotel is equipped to host a variety of events, including larger celebrations. For significant events, such as a disco, The Rawdon room can accommodate up to 150 guests. While not explicitly detailed as a family-focused hotel, the comfortable rooms and welcoming atmosphere suggest it could be suitable for families, particularly if travelling with older children or seeking accommodation for events.
