And with our perfectly positioned hotels, you can do it all mere moments from your doorstep. 

Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway, business trip or cultural escape, our city hotels provide a welcoming bolthole. And it only takes a couple of seconds to find the perfect hotel for your next city break. 

Romantic city escapes

Escape the day-to-day and take some time out for a little romance. Walk hand in hand through one of the best cities in the UK then enjoy a romantic meal before retiring to your relaxing room at one of our Greene King Inns. There’ll be a large, comfy bed waiting for you to snuggle up in.

Family-friendly breaks

Take the whole family to see a new city in the UK this year. Whether it’s a summer holiday or a half-term escape, you can see the sights and rest assured everyone will be looked after in one of our city hotels. There’s everything you need for the whole family just steps from your room, including delicious food and drink at our on-site pubs and restaurants. 

Solo trips

There’s nothing like exploring a new city by yourself. Strolling through city centre parks, checking out an art gallery or maybe even enjoying some retail therapy? Then round off your perfect day with a cosy and comfortable stay with us. The choice is yours whether you retire to your room for some quiet time or pull up a stool at the bar. 

Business stays

If you’re away on business in a different city and want to avoid soleless corporate hotels, we’ve got you covered at Greene King Inns. Stay somewhere with a little character, grab a hearty breakfast before your next meeting and relax in the evening at the bar. Many of our hotels offer free Wi-Fi for constant connection too, so you can always keep in touch. 

Chester

This historic city has plenty going for it, and so much to see and do. Spend a day at Chester Races, stroll along the river, head to Chester Zoo, or shop ‘til you drop along the handsome Chester Rows. And that’s before you get stuck into all the Roman history, such as the first-century amphitheatre, Grosvenor Museum, and Via Praetoria and Via Principalis. 

And after a long day exploring, bed down for the night at the Oaklands Hotel. Within walking distance of the ancient city walls, you’ll have everything on your doorstep. There’s everything you need at the hotel too, which offers 13 contemporary rooms with free Wi-Fi, bright and airy en-suite bathrooms, and large, comfy beds. 

Newcastle

What a fun city to explore. Take in a match at St. James’ Park, discover Newcastle Castle, snap some pics of the famous bridges, head to the Theatre Royal, or have a proper Geordie night out. When you visit Newcastle, make sure you stay at the Corner House Hotel just minutes from the city centre. 

This hotel’s perfectly positioned on the edge of Heaton and the leafy Jesmond, which is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful spots in the city. As well as excellent transport links, it also offers nine spacious rooms with en-suite bathrooms, complimentary toiletries and flatscreen TVs. 

Edinburgh

The Scottish capital is brimming with culture, history and things to do on a city break. Head to Edinburgh Castle, hike up to Arthur’s Seat, walk along the Royal Mile or go on a Harry Potter Tour. The options are endless. 

And at the end of the day, enjoy a lovely stay at the Hampton Hotel, an 18th-century inn that’s dog-friendly too. After admiring the building’s stunning exterior, head inside to enjoy tastefully decorated rooms with modern en-suite bathrooms and free Wi-Fi, along with the promise of a hearty Full Scottish breakfast in the morning.
