If at the duty managers discretion the Oak room restaurant is closed, meals will be taken in the Tudor Bar, the menu is the same throughout.

Please note that the rooms in the main building have beams and low ceilings, as this is a period property. Guests can contact the hotel if this is a problem and rooms can be allocated accordingly.

BEST WESTERN Rose and Crown Hotel

Comfort in Colchester.

The BEST WESTERN Rose and Crown Hotel is within walking distance of Colchester city centre. With a proud history of hospitality, it's the oldest recorded hotel in England's oldest recorded town!

That means you can look forward to a real oldy-worldy stay, with oak beamed walls, original chimneys and original small paned windows all adding to this 14th Century coaching inn-turned hotels appeal.

Colchester itself offers just as much character and charm, thanks to a rich history of Roman, Medieval and Victorian influences. You'll be near Constable Country too, which should give you an idea of the beautiful scenery and picturesque villages that will be on your doorstep!

Exploring Colchester and beyond

From historical points of interest in the city centre to the futuristic Quasar venue across the road, the BEST WESTERN Rose and Crown Hotel is perfectly placed for a fun and fascinating stay.
