4- and 5-star hotels in Nottingham
A shortlist of the 4- and 5-star hotels in Nottingham, from city-centre addresses to country houses on the edge of town. It is for couples, families and business travellers choosing where to base a short break in the East Midlands.
Staying in Nottingham
Nottingham mixes the old and the new: the Castle and the Council House sit beside the main shopping streets, the Lace Market keeps its converted warehouses full of independent shops and bars, and theatres such as the Theatre Royal and the Royal Concert Hall anchor the cultural scene. The city is well connected by road and rail, with direct trains to London and other major cities, and the county beyond offers Sherwood Forest and Newstead Abbey.
The hotels on this list sit in different corners of that map. Roomzzz Nottingham City and Crowne Plaza Nottingham by IHG are 0.1 km from the centre, with SACO Nottingham The Ropewalk, Hart's Hotel, Lace Market Hotel and Leonardo Hotel Nottingham all within 1.2 km. The Lodge At Ruddington and Eastwood Hall lie furthest out at 6.4 km and 12.9 km. Couples and business travellers will find the central picks convenient, while families and longer stays suit the houses and apartments further out.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Nottingham is served by East Midlands Airport, about 20 miles southwest, with bus links to the city. Direct trains run from London St Pancras in around two hours, and from other major cities like Birmingham, Manchester and Sheffield. The city has a comprehensive bus network and the Nottingham Express Transit (NET) tram system, which connects the city centre with suburbs and the university. Driving is straightforward via the M1 motorway, with park-and-ride sites on the outskirts. Once in the centre, many attractions are within walking distance of each other.
When to go
The best time to visit Nottingham is from late spring to early autumn, when the weather is mild and outdoor events are common. Summer brings festivals and longer days, while winter offers Christmas markets and festive lights. Rainfall is spread throughout the year, so it is wise to pack an umbrella regardless of the season.
