The Vestry

Lively, character-filled stay in the heart of Chichester

Modern comforts meet historic charm at The Vestry, a centrally located hotel in Chichester. Just 984 feet from the iconic Chichester Cathedral and surrounded by galleries, shops, and restaurants, this hotel is perfect for those who want to be right in the action. With individually styled rooms, some featuring super king-sized beds or corner baths, and a bustling bar downstairs, The Vestry offers a vibrant base for music fans visiting the city.

Why Concert-goers love it

One of the biggest draws is the hotel’s on-site live music every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night until 3am – the party doesn’t have to stop when the concert ends. Being in the city center means you’re an easy walk from local venues as well as late-night food and drink. Just note that if you're planning a quiet early night, the lively bar below might keep the vibe going upstairs – but that’s part of the charm for many music lovers.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a fun, music-filled weekend
• Solo travelers catching a bucket-list show
• Couples wanting to make a weekend of it in a historic city
• Fans needing a recovery space (with earplugs on hand!)
• Budget-conscious travelers who want great value in a central location

Food and Drink Options

The Vestry's restaurant and bar are open daily from 10am to 11pm and until 3am on live music nights, making it easy to grab a bite or drink post-show. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the central location puts you within walking distance of late-night eateries. Cooked breakfasts are also available – ideal after a big night out.

Nightlife Options

If you're looking to keep the concert energy going, the on-site bar features live music and a lively crowd on weekends. Beyond that, Chichester’s pubs and bars are just steps away, offering everything from craft pints to chill wine bars.

What People Say

Guests love the central location, friendly staff, and unique character of the rooms. The live music nights are a highlight for many, with a fun and welcoming atmosphere downstairs. The spacious rooms and comfy beds also get plenty of praise.

Areas for Improvement

While the music is a plus for some, others have noted that noise can carry to the rooms on gig nights – light sleepers may want to pack earplugs. There’s also no elevator, so be prepared for stairs (staff are happy to help with bags).

The Bottom Line

If you're in Chichester for the music, The Vestry delivers a central stay with personality, live tunes, and everything you need to keep the good vibes going.
