Information about the hotel

The Red Lion Hotel is an historical Grade I listed building (1465) located in the town centre of historic Colchester.

The hotel is located in the town centre and has excellent transport links to the M11, M25, Stansted Airport, Cambridge and Harwich. There are numerous shops nearby including well-known chain stores and smaller, boutique style shops. A quiet retreat from the modern world outside, the hotel's Tudor features and warm red and gold fabrics provide a luxurious and relaxing environment in which to enjoy your stay. This 14th century hotel has great historical connections to Oliver Cromwell and the notorious death of Alice Miller, who is said to haunt the property!
