Lace Market Hotel

Hotel review

A stylish, centrally located Nottingham stay, the Lace Market Hotel pairs historic character and charm with contemporary style. Generous windows bring in city views, while a lively restaurant, cocktail bar and traditional pub create a sociable, well-rounded base for a weekend in the city.

Rooms vary in size and layout but follow a consistent design approach: high ceilings, large windows and a blend of classic architecture with modern touches. Whether you book a Cosy Double or a Studio Suite, you can expect comfortable beds, spacious bathrooms and thoughtful amenities that prioritise practicality as much as style. Some rooms offer notable views across surrounding historic buildings, reinforcing the connection to Nottingham’s heritage. The area’s musical heritage is also woven into the hotel’s identity, with autograph-covered doors left by visiting musicians adding a subtle but memorable sense of cultural history. It's worth noting that some areas could do with a little modernisation.

Breakfast is well organised, combining a continental buffet with a selection of freshly cooked dishes including the traditional full English. The Lace Market's pub serves a selection of small plates, pizzas and burgers; for those wanting something more exciting, there are plenty of independent cafes and restaurants close by.

Service is consistently warm and professional, with staff approachable and attentive without being intrusive. Overall, the Lace Market Hotel offers a characterful base in a prime Nottingham location, balancing heritage atmosphere with practical convenience. The result is an easy, comfortable stay suited particularly to short visits, business trips and weekend city breaks.
