Historical function rooms in Shrewsbury
Let's toast your celebration – 17th-century style. See, you'll find our function rooms in Shrewsbury town centre, nestled within the historic Prince Rupert Hotel. They're right in the town's half-timbered, medieval heart, within a Grade II*-listed building whose roots are nearly as old as the nearby castle. If you want your function to go down in history, this is the place for it.
You can expect service, too, that feels from another time. Friendly, genuine and painstaking in its delivery of your desires. With modern facilities that ensure everyone feels comfortable and well-served. Cheers to that.
The Rupert Lounge
For up to 20 people
The Rupert Lounge is recognised as one of the most unique and atmospheric function rooms in Shrewsbury. With oak panels from floor to ceiling and exposed beams on the roof, it feels like the kind of place where Tudor nobles might have raised a toast.
Yet it's flooded with natural light and equipped with modern facilities, including air conditioning. Snug yet spacious, it's ideal for intimate receptions or sit-down dinners with your nearest and dearest.
The Royalist Lounge
For up to 40 people
The social heart of our hotel. Here, elegant décor rests easy alongside ornate leather armchairs and soft three-seat sofas. The Royalist Lounge is ideal for relaxed gatherings and sit-down lunches, where light snacks and casual conversation are the orders of the day.
Also noteworthy are its well-stocked, wood-panelled bar and abundance of space. In the Lounge, guests have plenty of room to mingle, sit back or stretch out.
The Darwin Suite
For up to 90 people
The Darwin Suite is a roomy, flexible space that's ideal for parties, dances or large dinner functions. Modern amenities are plentiful – the suite has its own dance floor, as well as air conditioning throughout.
Yet with its timber-framed walls and historical atmosphere, it still feels intimate and special. The Darwin Suite accommodates 90 people with reception-style seating or can be split into two rooms to seat up to 60/80.
