Stay Close to Winter Wonderland

Although the Lace Market is a great area to stay, and that’s where I stayed on my visit many years ago, other places in the city centre might be more convenient.

Good value header.

Great Value for Money

The hotel features classic British decor and spacious beds, creating a pleasant atmosphere during your stay.

In the vicinity, you’ll find The Specialty Coffee Shop, which is known for its exceptional coffee, baked goods, and healthy food options.

This is a great value hotel, but my next pick near Rock City has a much higher rating.

Best Area to Stay

Staying in the Lace Market means you’ll be in one of Nottingham’s most historically and culturally significant areas.

Once at the heart of the British lace industry, the Lace Market district is now home to converted Victorian redbrick buildings that have been transformed into popular gastropubs, independent stores, art galleries, coffee roasteries, and bakeries.

I highly recommend staying in the Lace District if you can.

Here are some other popular areas:

  • City Centre – Staying in the heart of Nottingham ensures you’re close to shops, restaurants, and attractions such as Old Market Square and Nottingham Castle. Various hotels, from budget-friendly to luxurious, cater to all preferences.
  • Lace Market – This historic district is known for its beautiful architecture, independent shops, and vibrant arts scene. It’s an excellent choice for visitors looking to experience the city’s culture while staying near popular attractions. I like this area the best.
  • Hockley – Often referred to as Nottingham’s Creative Quarter, Hockley is filled with trendy bars, restaurants, and boutique shops. It’s an ideal area for those who enjoy a lively atmosphere and local nightlife.
  • West Bridgford – Situated south of the River Trent, West Bridgford is a peaceful residential area with easy access to both the city centre and green spaces, such as The Embankment and Holme Pierrepont Country Park. This area is perfect if you’d like a quieter stay close to nature.
  • The Park – An upscale residential neighbourhood near the city centre, The Park features a mix of Victorian and modern architecture, as well as access to green spaces.
