Hotel Information
Purpose built as a railway hotel in 1865, the Keswick Hotel opened its doors for the first time in 1869, swiftly gaining a reputation as the leading hotel of the Lake District. Many famous visitors have crossed its threshold over the years, the most memorable being Queen Elizabeth II in October 1956.
Improved road links and the decline of local mining meant the railway ceased to function in 1972. However, the hotel purchased the old buildings and platform and continued to develop into the popular Lake District venue it is now.
Whether a business traveller, mountain hiker, keen rambler or a lakes enthusiast, the Keswick Hotel is proud to welcome all. The comfortable lounge with open fire and well stocked bar is the ideal meeting place after a day spent exploring the delights Keswick has to offer.
The Lonsdale Restaurant provides hearty Cumbrian breakfast and sumptuous 3-course table d'hôte evening dinner to tantalise your tastebuds using, wherever possible, locally sourced produce.
Set in 4 acres of tended gardens and walkways, surrounded by the wonderful Lakeland fells, play a game of croquet or relax in the haven of tranquility on offer when you stay at The Keswick Country House Hotel.
