Hotel Description
This 16th-century coaching inn has played host to both Dickens and Darwin. With beautiful Elizabethan decor The Lion is set within the heart of historic Shrewsbury. The Lion is a Grade I-listed building and guests can relax by the Tudor fireplace. The Pickwick Papers were written by Charles Dickens at the hotel itself and it has also been visited by the 19th-century Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli as well as the legendary violinist Paganini. Rooms offer unique furnishings with renovated decor and original features. Private bathrooms are included in each room along with a TV and tea/coffee facilities. The many historic streets and shops of central Shrewsbury can be reached within 5 minutes on foot.
