In the heart of Lincoln's historic Cathedral Quarter, Castle Hotel & Apartments presents a compelling proposition for discerning travelers. It offers the convenience of a central location with the privacy and space of self-catering apartments, all operating under the umbrella of a respected hotel. This establishment has made itself the classiest option for a stay that seamlessly merges history with contemporary living.

The hotel commands a prime position within Lincoln's esteemed Cathedral Quarter, putting guests within easy walking distance of the city's main attractions, galleries, and museums. The surrounding area is alive with an abundance of independent boutiques, art, craft, and gift shops, offering a rich tapestry of local culture. Views from many rooms extend to either the imposing Castle walls or the magnificent medieval Cathedral, providing a constant reminder of the city's storied past.
Style and Character
This establishment embraces its historical context, with each traditional room reflecting the timeless styling of the building and its colourful history. The recently refurbished apartments, such as Castle Cottage, offer a beautifully furnished lounge with a fully fitted kitchen diner, ensuring ample space and a relaxed atmosphere, especially when looking out to the courtyard garden. While the historic charm is preserved, the design prioritizes modern comfort and functionality, creating an environment that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. I personally find the commitment to preserving the building's heritage while integrating modern amenities to be a delicate balance executed with considerable skill.

The Luxury Apartment sleeps four in two double rooms, with an option for a sofa bed in the lounge, and offers a beautifully fitted kitchen diner flowing into an open-plan lounge.

Dishes are crafted using fresh, seasonal ingredients, with a strong preference for locally sourced produce, aiming to promote the county's exceptional food and drink industry. The menu is well-suited for a relaxed evening meal. For more casual fare, The Castle Bar is ideal for a quiet lunch or a glass of wine, and also serves food perfect for a bite after a day exploring Lincoln. The stylish lounge also provides table service for lunch and afternoon tea.
