This evocative Victorian hotel is located in the heart of Peterborough, just opposite the city's mainline train station. Time-honoured interiors, parquet-floored corridors and hearty servings of classic British fayre ensure the recently renovated Great Northern Hotel retains plenty of old-fashioned charm. All of the hotel's traditional yet individually styled guest rooms feature elegant en-suite facilities. Flat-screen TVs and hospitality trays are standard features; some rooms have safes and trouser presses. The Great Northern Hotel operates a 24-hour reception desk and provides complementary Wi-Fi access throughout the building. Free parking is available. Traditional British staples like full English breakfasts, fish and chips, sticky toffee pudding and afternoon tea are served in the refined surroundings of the Circa 1852 Restaurant & Coffee Shop. A wide assortment of hot beverages, soft drinks, fine wines, draught beers and real ales are also available. Peterborough's magnificent cathedral and bustling city centre are within five-minutes' walk.
