About the Alveston Manor 0118 971 4700
The Macdonald Alveston Manor is a popular four-star hotel in Stratford upon Avon. It is a historic building fitting perfectly with its Shakespearean surroundings. The Alveston Manor sits in its own manicured grounds just south of the river, a short stroll from the centre of Stratford upon Avon. Stratford upon Avon is fairly compact in size so the Macdonald Alveston Manor is located near to all the major sights. This includes the historic properties of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust such as Shakespeare’s Birthplace and Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, as well as the world famous Royal Shakespeare Company. Alveston Manor is also within driving distance of several prominent towns including Birmingham, Warwick and Leamington Spa, and the grand Blenheim Palace.
Alveston Manor is an arresting Tudor-fronted building that on approach looks every inch the stately home the hotel once was. Alveston Manor has a long history dating as far back as to have been noted in the doomsday book. The four-star hotel’s past roles have included a monastery as well as upper class residence. Consequently, keen-eyed guests will be able to spot architectural and design influences relating to several different time periods. The Alveston Manor is also thought to have played a role in the Shakespearean legacy of Stratford: allegedly, the hotel’s Cedar Lawn was the site of the first performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
The Alveston Manor is a period building, and the communal areas and bedrooms in the main building are full of character, retaining historic features and sympathetic design. Annexed to the main building is a newer section, in which the many of the bedrooms are held. These rooms are much more modern in appearance, and slightly less individual in design than the character rooms in the older part of the hotel. However, they still retain the facilities expected of a superior four-star hotel group. Similarly, the conferencing rooms at the Alveston Manor can be divided into contemporary- and period-influenced, which depending on the nature of the event can add a certain atmosphere to a function. The Manor Grill restaurant and Bar are both situated in the original building, and create a traditional ambience in which to enjoy pre-theatre dining or perhaps afternoon tea. The Alveston Manor is also home to a superior spa facility, whereby guests can make the most of a weekend break with a soothing massage.
