Where To Stay In Derby

There is a wide variety of accommodation available to visitors when they visit Derby. Where you choose to stay when you visit Derby will obviously depend on your budget. Derby not only has lots of hotels but is also home to some excellent guest houses and family run B&B's. Plus if there happens to be a large group of you intending to visit the city together then why not consider some self-catering accommodation instead.

But whatever accommodation you do select you are going to be surprised at the warm welcome you receive. We're going to take a look at some of the good quality hotels and guest houses that you can find in Derby.

1. Heritage Hotel - This is an independently run hotel with 92 bedrooms, eight of which are suites so they come with their own sitting rooms. But unlike the others, these suites not only have good quality bathrooms but a large TV in the sitting room as well. The other 84 rooms in the hotel all come with en-suite facilities and other amenities that you expect to find in hotels today.

2. Legacy Aston Court Hotel - This is situated in the heart of the city and is extremely modern offering free Wi-Fi Internet connection to its guests. All you need is for your computer to be compatible with their Legacy network in order to use the facility.

Although this hotel just has 55 rooms, you'll find that they have all been tastefully decorated and it is an excellent base if you're planning a weekend in Derby. It can be found just a few short minutes away from the main shopping centre and other facilities in the city. You're close to attractions such as Alton Towers, Nottingham's Lace Market and the historic Chatsworth House.

3. The Stuart Hotel - This is a very contemporary modern hotel where only bespoke furniture and designer fabrics have been used. You have the choice between various types of accommodation whilst staying at this hotel from the standard room through to their superior and executive rooms or suites. Regardless of your choice, you'll be able to chill out in complete comfort.

Plus if you are not in the mood for wandering too far from the hotel to enjoy some beautiful food then the XS Restaurant is worth a visit. It offers you beautiful English cuisine that has a slight international twist to it. Along with top class food, there is an extensive wine list for you to sample.

4. Cathedral Quarter Hotel - this is Derby's first boutique hotel which means that it's slightly different from most of the other local hotels. Originally used as a Police Station, the hotel has 38 rooms in total, all of which have been carefully decorated. This hotel has a mini spa so that you can soak your worries away and totally relax.

Above we have offered a number of places to stay in Derby, but a quick search of the internet and you will see there are plenty of others that one can consider. As is the case almost everywhere, your accommodation choice will be dictated by your budget.
