Situated within a 14th-century coaching inn, the award-winning Best Western Rose and Crown Hotel is located just a 15 minutes’ walk from the centre of historic Colchester.

The Rose and Crown offers guests a delightful mix of modern comfort and charming oak-beamed rooms. Every room is thoughtfully equipped with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs featuring Freeview channels, and convenient tea and coffee-making facilities, plus en-suite bathrooms for your relaxation and privacy.

When it comes to food and drink, the Rose and Crown doesn't disappoint. You can enjoy meals at the elegant hotel restaurant or cozy up in the Tudor Bar and Brasserie, complete with real log fires to give you that warm, inviting atmosphere. All meals are crafted with care, using seasonal ingredients from local sources.

Please note that the kitchen is closed for lunch and dinner, but the breakfast service remains uninterrupted. Breakfast is served daily, so you can fuel up before exploring: Mon - Fri 6.30-9.30 am and Sat - Sun and Bank Holidays 7.30-10.30 am.

And for those who fancy a drink, the bar is open daily from 5.30 PM to 10.30 PM, making it a perfect place to unwind after a day of sightseeing.
