About The Hotel

Steeped in history, this iconic hotel has been welcoming guests for more than 250 years, under a variety of names, finally becoming the Eccles Hotel in the late 1800s. Over the years it has attracted famous names, WB Yeats, George Bernard Shaw, and, more recently Pippa Middleton. Despite beautiful refurbishment work, bringing the hotel into the modern era, it still retains that inimitable old-world feeling from its balconied exterior to its classically cool drawing rooms, bedrooms and restaurant.
