Hotel Christmas Breaks

Angel and Royal Hotel (Hotel)

Up until the middle of the 1800’s the hotel was still classed as an Inn, being fondly known simply as The Angel. Despite this fact, no less than seven kings of England and various other members of Royalty had already patronised the Inn, including George IV. It wasn’t, however, until 1866 and a visit to Grantham by the then Prince of Wales, which lent to the property getting the second part of its name. It was universally agreed that the visit by the eldest son of Queen Victoria and heir to the throne Edward VII should be commemorated by the incorporation of “Royal” in the Inn’s name; thus The Angel & Royal came into being, which it is known today throughout the world as. It was not until the early 1920’s that the word Inn was dropped and the building became a hotel.
Some say that the old Angel has more historical interest than many of our stately homes in the United Kingdom. Widely regarded and fondly known as the oldest surviving English Inn, the main façade of the building that stands today was built approximately 600 years ago. The site then, however, had already been an Inn for 200 years, and was built as a hostel for the chivalrous Brotherhood of the Knights Templar. It was then that the beautifully carved building caught the eye of King John (“he of Magna Carta fame”) who decided it would make a suitable location for a visit of his Royal Court in 1213.
