The Royal Kings Arms Hotel
An historic building reborn in the heart of Lancaster
Our Hotel
The newly renovated Royal Kings Arms dates back to 1625 and the reign of Charles 1. With its 55 contemporary en-suite bedrooms, including the impressive Castle Suite, the Brasserie Restaurant and Crypt Cocktail Lounge, this much loved historic hotel is a stunning venue for visitors to the Lancaster area and the local community alike. For couples looking to plan an unforgettable wedding day, and businesses hunting for a first class conference or meeting venue, the hotel’s impressive architecture, contemporary interior and award winning food make our hotel the perfect choice.
WE REGRET TO INFORM YOU, THE HOTEL IS CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
We may be closed for the time being, as our first priority is to protect our staff, as well as all of our wonderful customers.
While we are closed, we are using this time wisely, and we endeavor to bring you a bigger and better hotel. In line with this we have a brand new head chef, Mr. Ben Vandenbrink, who has joined us from his hugely successful restaurant 18 North in the Palatine, Morecambe, and Ben also appeared on MasterChef: The Professionals in 2018. He is right now creating some fantastic new menus.
As well as this we are also using this time to fully retrain all of our staff.
We are not just improving The Brasserie, we are also improving Market Street Food Company, which is a an online restaurant hub kitchen located on the 1st floor of the hotel, this includes Vegan, Tapas, Pizza and Pasta menus. We have a brand new head chef on board, who will be creating some mouthwatering dishes that can be delivered right to your door.

Our Bedrooms
All our bedrooms come complete with tea and coffee making facilities, free WiFi and wall-mounted smart televisions. And with a choice of standard to deluxe accommodation, and single to family rooms, we offer everything the weary traveller needs for a special stay and rejuvenating night’s sleep.
Food & Drink
The Brasserie
Our stunning restaurant and bar offers guests a light and lively venue by day, with a more intimate mood in the evenings. The Brasserie provides sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the city from dawn until late, with a range of menus featuring the pick of local produce, traditional favourites, the best of international cuisine and an impressive choice of vegan and vegetarian options.
The Crypt
Hidden away beneath the luxurious halls of the Royal Kings Arms hotel, the Crypt has led many lives – disco, nightclub, punk-rock hotspot. Now, this historic venue at the heart of Lancaster has been completely transformed, reopening its doors as a revolutionary cocktail lounge, wine bar and eaterie.
Some of our members of staff are taking part in a 10k run for charity for MIND on 20 March this year.
Please would you share the post to raise awareness and, if you have anything left of your charity budget for this year, consider sparing some to donate for the good cause?
Thank you so much and good luck to the runners.

We are proud to announce our Charity of the Year this year is Animal Care.
They are a local charity (based in Lancaster) and the work they do to look after less fortunate pets and animals is something that is close to our hearts.
Please do support them if you are able to do so by visiting their website and
http://www.animalcare-lancaster.co.uk/content/about-animal-care-charity
Animal Care has been a registered charity since 1978. We take in unwanted and abandoned animals from all over the North West.
Animal Care works very hard to help as many animals as they can. Each day we are asked to help pets from homes where the owners can no longer care them (for a variety of reasons, not all bad). They also help dog pounds across the North West with dogs on death row and ex greyhounds. They also help the RSPCA with cruelty cases, puppy farms and abandoned animals.

Murder at Monster Mansion
It’s time for the most spooky, ooky and kooky engagement party you’ve ever experienced, as the residents of monster mansion prepare to welcome a new son in law into their family.
He’s not quite what the gruesome gathering expected though and the fun soon turns into a funeral as the mad professor gets murderous, the witch gets more wicked and the bride to be becomes bloodthirsty.
You’ll have a scream as you try to solve this death over dinner. Just watch out for the zombie and make sure that you’re not the one who’s on the menu!
This even includes a three course meal
