The excellent hospitality for which The Old Palace conference and wedding venue has become well known is to be widely available with the opening of an extension to create a fabulous boutique hotel.
The Old Palace is extending to include the neighbouring former church of St Michael on the Mount, to create a hotel with 31 beautifully-appointed rooms.
With a strong reputation as a high-quality venue in a unique position, The Old Palace will offer a sumptuous environment whether for light lunch, afternoon tea or relax to a glass of wine in the Old Library.
The sympathetic restoration of the Victorian former church building will create some of the most desirable hotel rooms in the city, and with an excellent, personal service, The Old Palace will cement its position as the best place to stay in Lincoln. The former church sits close to the top of Steep Hill, with easy access to the Cathedral, Castle and historic Bailgate area, as well as the shopping heart of Lincoln.
Opening in the spring, the hotel will complement the continuing use of the historic building as a conference and wedding venue, with space for groups of up to 120 people, as well as small, private functions.
The general manager of The Old Palace, Sonja Brockman, said: “We offer a welcome and service that we firmly believe is the envy of the industry.
“Our highly professional and personable staff promise a very warm welcome and the best service. Our imaginative menus and delicious food will continue to be available for special events and celebrations.
“The Old Palace is the perfect place for people staying in Lincoln on business or leisure, who demand the very best accommodation, food and service.”
