The Radisson Edwardian Grafton Hotel is housed in a distinctive, 5-storey traditional building with a redbrick façade that dates from 1901. It is in very good condition and retains numerous original features including intricate cornices and delicate stained glass windows. The 324 guestrooms are decorated in soothing cream and coffee tones, complemented by wooden furniture imported from West Africa and beds with Egyptian cotton duvets. The Italian marble bathrooms include heated towel racks and hair dryers. Named after the Aston Martin club, which was founded here in the 1930s, the hotel’s light and spacious Aston Bar & Restaurant serves modern British cuisine, which draws together classic cooking techniques and simple fresh local ingredients. Popular with local people for its combination of style and comfort, the Aston is an ideal venue to meet for a drink or for dinner. The bar area also offers a large screen showing Sky sports, so you don’t have to miss all those important games.
