The Mercure Shakespeare Hotel invites you to step back in time without sacrificing modern comfort. Our hotel is housed in a beautiful 17th-century building on Chapel Street, complete with oak beams, open fireplaces, creaking floorboards and lots of character – it’s like staying in a Shakespeare play set! Each of our rooms is individually named and decorated (you might stay in the Othello or Hamlet room), reflecting the rich literary heritage of Stratford-upon-Avon. Despite our historic look, your room comes with all the contemporary amenities – from plush bedding to Wi-Fi – ensuring a comfortable stay. Located just around the corner from the Royal Shakespeare Company’s theatres and a short stroll from Shakespeare’s Birthplace, our position couldn’t be better for immersing yourself in local culture. We’re proud to be a longstanding part of this community, often hosting theatre-goers, actors, and Shakespeare enthusiasts from around the world. Our on-site Quill Bar & Lounge and Marco’s New York Italian restaurant provide a friendly setting for locals and visitors to mingle over afternoon tea or dinner. Whether you’re warming up by the fire with a book or asking our staff about their favorite local stories, you’ll feel the genuine hospitality of a team that truly cares about our town’s legacy and your experience. We strive to make every guest feel the spirit of Stratford during their stay with us.
