A jewel among hotels in Shrewsbury
As the only AA four-star hotel in Shrewsbury, Prince Rupert is a jewel among jewels. You'll feel it from the first warm welcome. The roaring fire. The Tudor beams. The sense that every interesting nook and friendly smile is just the way it should be.
For you, it's an escape. For us, it's a way of life. This is a place where the service is genuine and the walls tell stories. A Grade II*-listed sanctuary in the heart of historic Shrewsbury. Moments from local attractions and artisan shops. A moment in itself.
Treasures like ours deserve to be shared. Welcome.
