About the Hotel

High Street, Colchester, United Kingdom

Greyfriars is a luxury hotel and restaurant destination, designed from magnificent Grade II* and Grade II listed buildings at the top of East Hill in the centre of historic Colchester's Cultural Quarter.

Elegant Room Collection

The 26 luxuriously appointed bedrooms at Greyfriars are divided between the original Georgian property with its handsome domed staircase and later additions that overlook the castle.

Fine Dining Venue

The main Cloisters restaurant, housed in the building's former chapel and decorated in a quasi-art-deco style, has an appropriate sense of occasion with menus featuring ingredients like Mersea Island oysters and East Anglian produce.

Stylish Bar Spaces

The Baroque Bar, cosily lit in winter and opening onto an expansive terrace in summer, offers cocktails while the Venetian and Library Lounges can be booked for less formal occasions.

Premium Guest Amenities

Guests at this 4-star hotel enjoy marble bathrooms with underfloor heating, L'Occitane toiletries, and specialized accessibility features including vibrating pillow pads with strobe lighting for guests with visual or hearing impairment.

Central Historic Location

Greyfriars sits in its own gated grounds, just 10 minutes' stroll from Colchester Town and 55 km from London Stansted, with the Cultural Quarter home to Colchester Castle and museums nearby.
