Comfortably nestling in Shrewsbury's historic town centre, The Golden Cross Hotel offers a whimsically glamorous alternative for visitors bored with the tame impersonality of chain hotels. We welcome anyone who loves character and quirkiness and has a healthy appetite for delicious food.

An intoxicating mix of the best of contemporary interiors sprinkled liberally with shabby chic and antique glamour, our mission at The Golden Cross is simple: we offer a 'home from home'.We think we've made The Golden Cross into something special.

History

Report

Michael was a retired National Hunt jockey and the couple were popular hosts, remaining at the inn for many years. Within a few months of their tenancy a problem arose when a section of the public wanted an end to the "Men Only" bar, which had been a tradition at the Golden Cross since time immemorial.

Bedrooms

Report

Whether you're in Shrewsbury for business, on holiday or a romantic weekend, pamper yourself by staying at the Golden Cross. Each of our bedrooms has its own unique medieval character, individually furnished with antiques and splashed with contemporary colours but with a few modest facilities to make your stay supremely comfortable.

Food

Report

Glistening, crunchy fruit and vegetables still drunk on the morning dew, fish with the mermaid's song barely out of their lips, the smoke of barbecues lingering long after sunset. Every summer's day brings new delights and delicious surprises from our local producers. We'll be getting the very best out of our daily forays into the market. This is not just delicious, it's Golden Cross delicious!

We've tried to make them into a celebration of edgy glamour and individuality that will be appreciated by our discerning guests. Over the centuries The Golden Cross has undergone many transformations and been, variously, sacristy, ale-house, tavern, Royalist retreat and a 19th century takeaway sausage shop!
