About the business
The Arden Hotel offers an exceptional Stratford-upon-Avon experience defined by elegance, comfort, and location. We’re fortunate to sit right on Waterside, directly facing the Royal Shakespeare and Swan Theatres – you can practically wave to the actors from some of our rooms! Our boutique hotel features 45 beautifully designed bedrooms, each blending classic sophistication with modern amenities (plush bedding, Nespresso machines, and designer toiletries are standard). Many rooms overlook either the River Avon or our private courtyard garden, providing a serene backdrop to your stay. As a locally rooted luxury hotel, we take pride in every detail: our onsite restaurant, No.44 Brasserie, focuses on fresh, seasonal British cuisine and has become a dining destination in its own right (Sunday lunches and afternoon teas here are beloved by residents and guests alike). We also have a stylish champagne bar and lounges where you can unwind after a day of sightseeing or before a night at the theatre. Our team is passionate about personal service – from the warm greeting at reception to our concierge’s insider tips (we can arrange behind-the-scenes theatre tours, riverboat rides, or a picnic in the Cotswolds upon request). As part of Stratford’s community, we often participate in local events and charitable initiatives, embodying the spirit of hospitality our town is known for. Whether you’re here to immerse yourself in Shakespeare, celebrate a special occasion, or simply relax in luxury, The Arden Hotel promises a memorable, personalized stay in the very heart of Stratford-upon-Avon.
