T: 01298 808 999
Set in the very heart of Buxton, the Old Hall offers an unrivalled position overlooking the historic Buxton Crescent and thermal spring, placing guests within steps of the town’s elegant Georgian architecture, cultural venues and leafy parks. Its central location positioned opposite the picturesque Pavilion Gardens and Buxton Opera House, makes it the perfect base for exploring the wider Peak District, where a year-round programme of walking, sightseeing, events and outdoor activities awaits.
Built in 1573 to hold Mary, Queen of Scots under careful guard at a moment when her very presence unsettled the Elizabethan court, the Old Hall has witnessed centuries of intrigue and change.
You can still feel touches of its past in the characterful rooms and the old stone of the 16th-century tower, yet everything around you is warm, welcoming and comfortably modern. It’s the kind of place where history doesn’t shout – it simply sets the scene – giving you a charming, relaxed base right in the heart of Buxton.
Stylish independent shopping is just around the corner at Cavendish Shopping Arcade and the award winning Devonshire Dome Spa is minutes from the hotel.
The Old Hall Hotel is a beloved dining spot in Buxton, perfect for hotel guests, lunch visitors, or those stopping by for a coffee. You can enjoy the cozy charm of the Wine Bar, which retains the ambiance of the historic coaching inn, or opt for a meal in the elegant hotel restaurant.
