LOCATION
The Hotel occupies a prominent location in the heart of the
medieval city overlooking the 13th century Salisbury Cathedral.
Known as ‘the city in the countryside’, Salisbury is distinctive for
its quintessentially British rural influences, whilst also offering
numerous contemporary retail and leisure outlets. The Hotel is
surrounded by historic streets boasting boutique stores and is
within close proximity to events held at Salisbury Playhouse and
City Hall. The bustling Charter Market can be enjoyed bi-weekly
in the Market Place.
Stonehenge, a world-renowned prehistoric monument, which
forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is located only
9.5 miles north of Salisbury. The striking Jurassic coast and
Beaulieu’s National Motor Museum, which exhibits some of
television and film’s most famous vehicles, are also nearby.
The established zoo and adventure park Longleat is 26.3 miles
away from the Hotel.
In spite of its character as a market town, Salisbury is home to
several major corporate occupiers. Nearby major businesses
include Chemring, HPI, Quilter, Friends Life and Pearson Phoenix.

High quality commercial space is offered in business districts
such as Solstice Park, and small and medium sized firms also
play a large part in Salisbury’s growing business activity.
Salisbury benefits from good transport links throughout the
South West and lies on the intersection of the A30, A36 and A338.
Salisbury Railway Station is located within 0.6 miles of the Hotel
and provides direct trains to London Waterloo Railway Station
with a journey time of 1 hour and 22 minutes. Both Southampton
Airport and Bournemouth Airport are located within close
proximity of the Hotel at circa 24 miles and 25 miles respectively.
