Explore Hotel

A fabulous hotel set in one of England's greatest beauty spots.

The Ambleside Salutation Hotel is a unique hotel in the heart of the English Lake District. Here you can enjoy the epic scenery of the great outdoors and then return to equally impressive surroundings indoors too. Explore the famous mountains and waterways of the region, enjoying the fresh air and knowing that the warmest welcome awaits you back at this excellent spa hotel in the Lake District.

When it's time for rest and relaxation, the Ambleside Salutation Hotel offers a top quality wining and dining experience to replenish those energy reserves. Even if you still happen to have energy to burn, we have a high-tech gym and swimming pool on-site too. If that all sounds too much like hard work, enjoy a massage or beauty treatment in our luxurious spa instead.

If you want to explore shops as well as spectacular landscapes, the local attractions in and around Ambleside provide more than enough places to wander around during your stay at this delightful hotel. Or why not venture a little further afield to Kendal (home of the mint cake), Keswick or Grasmere?

If you're looking for a place to stay in the Lake District, the Ambleside Salutation Hotel has it all.
