Stratford-upon-Avon, England, United Kingdom · Hotel Indigo · Accessible Luxury
The Falcon on Chapel Street has been a licensed inn since the 1650s, the oldest premises in Stratford still pouring drinks, and Hotel Indigo's ninety-three rooms now fill it. The timber frame began as a one-storey town house around 1500, took an upper floor about 1645, and still wears a Grade II* front opposite Shakespeare's New Place. St James Hotel Group closed it for a long restoration and brought it back under the Indigo name in 2019. The Falcon sign, and the tea room, kept the old bird.
- 93 rooms
- Opened 1655
- Neighborhood: Town Centre
About Hotel Indigo Stratford Upon Avon by IHG
- From 1834 the Royal Shakespeare Club held its annual dinner in the Falcon. Locals fought the 2019 renaming, so the tea room and the wooden sign stayed Falcon.
- You are sleeping in three buildings at once: the Tudor range, a Georgian townhouse, and a wing from the 1960s. The Tudor rooms look out on New Place.
- At the 2019 opening, Mike Robinson, co-owner of the Michelin-starred Harwood Arms, ran The Woodsman. That is still the restaurant's name.
History
What is now Hotel Indigo was the Falcon, a Grade II* building at Chapel Street. The half-timbered range began as a single-storey house around 1500 and gained its upper floor around 1645. It was recorded as an inn in 1655-61, which is why it is called the oldest continuously licensed premises in Stratford. The Royal Shakespeare Club dined there from 1834. St James Hotel Group bought it in 2014, closed it in December 2017, and reopened it as Hotel Indigo in 2019 after a restoration by Stepnell. The front is Grade II*. The hotel's address is 4 Chapel Street, CV37 6HA.
The setting
4 Chapel Street, CV37 6HA, in the middle of Stratford-upon-Avon, opposite New Place, Shakespeare's later home. The station is about half a mile. This is the town, not a manor in the fields.
