St Nicholas Hotel is a unique and stylish destination in the heart of Shrewsbury, set within a beautifully converted 17th-century church. Blending historical charm with modern comfort, this striking building houses a vibrant ground-floor restaurant and bar, with three floors of contemporary hotel accommodations above, accessible via both stairs and elevator. Each of our rooms with attached bathroom is designed for relaxation and convenience, featuring free high-speed Wi-Fi, Smart flat-screen TVs, and tasteful décor that reflects the character of this historic setting. Downstairs, our lively bar is stocked with a wide selection of beers, wines, cocktails, premium spirits, and a range of soft and hot drinks, all expertly prepared by our experienced bartenders. Whether you're winding down after a day of exploring or kicking off a night out, you'll find the perfect drink to suit your mood. Conveniently located, St Nicholas is just a 10-minute walk from Shrewsbury Train Station, and approximately 1 hour by car from Birmingham Airport, making it easy to reach whether you’re coming from near or far. Experience history, comfort, and hospitality all under one magnificent roof at St Nicholas Hotel.

Company info

We have recently taken over (19th May 2026) and are an independently owned business that proudly runs St Nicholas, a much-loved boutique hotel Shrewsbury guests choose for character and comfort. Our building has grown and changed over time, and with it, what people expect from a stay here. Today, the ground floor is a lively cocktail bar Shrewsbury locals enjoy, with a relaxed grill restaurant, while the upper floors are home to 13 individually styled boutique bedrooms. There has been a place of worship on this site since the 12th century, and now it has a new life as a welcoming boutique hotel Shrewsbury visitors can experience for themselves. The original church was demolished and replaced by the Presbyterian Chapel of St Nicholas in December 1870, which stood here until the congregation moved in the mid-1970s. Since then, the building has been used as offices, a gym, a café bar, a spa and, most recently, a boutique hotel. Many original features remain, including archways, carved pillars and stained glass windows, giving the hotel its distinctive atmosphere without ever feeling formal or fussy.
