The Stratford-upon-Avon is an upscale, redbrick hotel overlooking a pleasant leafy garden located five minutes' walk from the main train station. The 102 rooms are nicely presented in natural woods with soft lighting, free Wi-Fi, and satellite TV, though some are prone to internal noise -- especially when the property hosts weddings. Dining is decent with free full English breakfast and plenty of a la carte options. While there are plenty of hotels nearer the attractions, those looking for smart lodgings within strolling distance of the main tourist sights will find plenty to like here. Guests who wouldn't mind staying farther from town might want to compare rates with Ettington Chase Hotel, which has an indoor pool and hot tub.

The budget-friendly, three-pearl Best Western Grosvenor Hotel has an appealing location for sightseeing Shakespeare-lovers; it's within walking distance of several of the sights related to the playwright. Its Georgian-style building is striking, but the 73 guest rooms vary in style, and some are less than fresh in decor and lack air-conditioning. All include flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and kettles. Features are rather solid and include a restaurant and bar, afternoon tea, free passes to a gym, and on-site parking. Travelers could also consider the Premier Inn Stratford Upon Avon Waterways Hotel that offers a more uniform, chain-hotel experience.

The 30-room Stratford Limes Hotel is a cute family-run property located a five-minute drive from Stratford-upon-Avon’s historic center.

A small bar and a cozy breakfast room are the only amenities, but freebies such as on-site parking, Wi-Fi, and continental or full English breakfast add value. Those looking to stay closer to historic attractions may want to compare rates at the Church Street Townhouse, a boutique upper-middle-range property which has more stylish rooms and a lively bar.

The 45-room Arden Hotel is an upscale boutique located right across the street from the Royal Shakespeare Company theaters. Rooms are stylish and classic, with bright purple accents over a muted palette, and great amenities such as free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, DVD players, Nespresso machines, and Espa toiletries. Many have separate showers and soaking tubs, and a few have clawfoot bathtubs in the bedroom. The brasserie is a popular spot for pre-theater dinner and evening drinks, and the cozy Lounge draws couples and small groups of friends for afternoon tea. Freebies include breakfast, turndown service, and Wi-Fi throughout, but the biggest perk here is the free on-site parking, which is a rarity in town. For more Old World charm, it's worth considering The White Swan Hotel, housed in a mid-15th-century building with original historic features in some rooms.
