A VERY SPECIAL HOTEL As Daniel Defo wrote in 1727 while staying at the Hotel ....'This is indeed a very special place'.Today, we continue with that tradition of making the
Hotel a very special place for your stay. Stay awhile here to sample the delights of the Hotel and, if you wish, you can savour the history of the Hotel,

A PEDIGREE OF THE PAST WITH TODAY'S CUISINE If you are dining from the
Dinner menu in our excellent restaurant or enjoying the Chef's Special in our popular wine bar you will soon appreciate
the extra thought and creativity of choice in our menus and wine lists. The Cavendish and Talbot rooms are available for private dinner parties and functions. |

The wine bar is open all day and evening for coffee, afternoon tea, all- day menu, and, very importantly, pre
and post theatre supper. It is very much the haunt for theatre-goers, actors and musicians. A guest once bought a second-hand Richard III outfit complete with crown, but no horse! |

...... AND SO TO BED
This ancient building with many tales to
tell, has 38 very comfortable and
sympathetically furnished bedrooms, all with
en- suite bathrooms, satellite TV, hairdryer
and radio, direct-dial telephone and
hospitality tray. There is a lift to all
floors. For the nostalgic (or brave!) you
can stay in Queen Mary's Bower in the oldest
part of the hotel, still with ceiling
mouldings dating back to the origins of the
Hall. This wondrous room, with its
four-poster bed was, we believe, the bedroom
of Mary Queen of Scots. |

We have two residents' lounges, one
with television and the other for
quiet relaxation perhaps with a
coffee or a drink. However, here's
just a little warning! It contains a
concert grand piano complete with
parlour palm. You might have to
contend with a very serious soprano
practising for the evening's opera
performance. |

A MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM The Hotel is just across the leafy square from one of the most exquisite opera houses in the British Isles. Home of the annual international Gilbert and
Sullivan Festival and the Buxton Opera Festival, The Buxton Opera House hosts opera, theatre and concerts throughout the year. The Old Hall Hotel is the first choice venue of theatre people. With
our well-known pre and post-theatre suppers and special theatregoer room tariffs, including theatre tickets, it is a natural setting for a wonderful evening at the Opera followed by dinner and a
comfortable and sound night's sleep. |

For that special occasion or party, we introduce The "Orchestra Pit". Set amongst the historic arches and
vaults of long ago. Tremendous atmosphere with a touch of Theatre for up to 150 people to while away the night. The Orchestra Pit has its own private bar and direct access into the main Hotel. |
