Charles Dickens once said of The Lion Hotel,

"...we have the strangest little rooms, the ceilings of which I can touch with my hand.The windows bulge out over the street, as if they were little stern windows in a ship and a door opens out of the sitting room onto a little open gallery with plants in it where one leans over a queer old rail and looks all down hill and slantwise at the crookedest old black and yellow houses..."

The jewel in Shropshire’s crown, Shrewsbury is packed with fascinating history - and at the centre of that history is the Lion Hotel, having served the county for over 400 years with luxury accommodation and fine dining. Set amongst the quaint shops and boutiques of the town centre, and only a stone's throw from some of the country's most beautiful landscape, the Lion Hotel is perfect for weekend breaks, rural getaways and lavish retreats.
