The Royal Kings Arms Hotel
A historic building reborn in the heart of Lancaster
In the heart of the historic city of Lancaster, with views of its famous castle, stands the Royal Kings Arms Hotel. Originally built in 1625 and later rebuilt after a devastating fire, we boast 55 rooms, our Brasserie Restaurant, The Crypt Cocktail Lounge and The Secret Garden outdoor dining area (during the summer months only) ensuring you have everything you need for a fantastic stay with us. We are currently undergoing a multi-million pound renovation, returning our fabulous hotel to its former glory (all work is carried out Monday to Friday only).

Stayed here a few times due to its central location. This time I must praise ALL the staff , from initial welcome to them sorting out the takeaway order in the early hours. Breakfast staff too were polite, helpful & a pleasure to be served by. Overall the service was as good as any 4/5 star hotel I’ve stayed in anywhere in the world.
