Grade II listed Georgian hotel near Chichester Festival Theatre

Accommodation & Historic Building

The hotel occupies an 18th-century Grade II listed building within Chichester's old city walls. Guest rooms overlook North Street, Priory Park, or the cathedral, with many retaining original Georgian and Regency details such as full-height sash windows and a fine staircase. The property includes a private cottage for guests seeking a separate secluded space.

Dining

The on-site restaurant, The Ship, serves classic meals and char-grilled meat and fish dishes prepared from locally sourced produce. An award-winning Chef Patron oversees the menu, which includes special diet menus and kids' meals. The hotel also offers breakfast in the room and a bar with wine and champagne selections.

Spa & Wellness

The subterranean spa includes a steam room, a hydrotherapy pool, and treatment rooms offering customizable options such as back, neck, and full-body massages. Guests have access to a fitness centre with a personal trainer and fitness or spa locker rooms. Hand massage, foot massage, and head massage are among the additional treatments available.

Location & Local Attractions

Centrally located a few minutes' walk from Chichester Festival Theatre and Chichester Cathedral, the hotel places guests in the heart of the city's cultural district. Priory Park is directly adjacent, offering green space and outdoor activities. The hotel's position within the old city walls provides easy access to local shops and historic streets.

Events & Weddings

Character-filled event spaces within the hotel accommodate private functions, weddings, and corporate gatherings. The events team, including coordinator Kate, provides planning services for ceremonies, receptions, and parties of up to 84 guests. The hotel also offers meeting and banquet facilities with private check-in and check-out options.

“This historic town centre property makes excellent use of its location, with convenient parking adding to its appeal. While the rooms are generally comfortable and well-appointed, some guests have found the temperature regulation challenging in warmer months. The spa, however, consistently draws praise for its exceptional treatments and staff.”
