Mercure Hotels in Stratford upon Avon
Looking to discover the Bard’s birthplace or take in one of his plays at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre? Or perhaps you’re in Warwickshire for business? Whatever your plans, our Mercure hotel in Stratford-Upon-Avon will have you covered. Our Shakespeare Hotel is a three-minute taxi ride from Stratford upon Avon station, with the hotel’s roomy bedrooms perfectly located for a weekend away, being just minutes from many of the town’s Shakespearean landmarks. Discover Shakespeare’s birthplace, where you can walk in the Bard’s footsteps and explore his childhood home, which now houses changing exhibitions and period furnishing. Once you’re finished on Henley Street, head back through the old town to and visit the New Place on Chapel Street – the site of Shakespeare’s home in retirement from 1597 until his death. Finish your tour of the Bard’s life at the Holy Trinity Church where you can find the grave where he was laid to rest on 25th April 1616. The Stratford upon Avon Mercure is also well located if you are attending a play at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre on the Waterside. A four-minute walk away from the hotel’s front door, the theatre is dedicated to the works of Shakespeare, with a wide-range of productions on at any one time. And if you want a break from Shakespeare during your stay, go for a wander along the town’s canal. Within minutes you will be in the picturesque countryside of Warwickshire and its many beautiful little villages and hamlets.
