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 WILL REOPEN FROM THE 5TH JUNE
We have taken the decision to reopen the hotel, Friday and Saturdays from June the 5th.
We are taking all of the necessary precautions to protect our customers, as well as our staff.
Below are two documents stating what we are doing, both of these can be downloaded and printed if you so wish to do.
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.
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.
