Rooms & Views

The hotel has a glass-walled lift that provides panoramic views of the city as guests move between floors. Each room is equipped with a LED TV with Freeview, tea and coffee making facilities, and a private bathroom with shower facilities. Some rooms overlook the marina, while others face an interior brick wall, so guests should confirm their view preference at booking.

The Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar & Grill is located on the fifth floor, serving upscale dining with views across Lincoln's skyline and cathedral. The Electric Bar on the same floor offers a relaxed setting with cocktails and a small balcony that overlooks the canal. Breakfast is served buffet-style in the fifth-floor restaurant, with a selection of hot and cold items.

Business & Events

Meeting and banquet facilities are available, with a 24-hour business centre for corporate needs. Functions staff Anna and Emily have been noted for organising events such as birthday parties and cocktail-making sessions.

Location & Parking

The hotel sits on the Brayford Waterfront, a three-minute walk from Lincoln High Street and within a 15-minute walk of Lincoln Cathedral and Lincoln Castle. On-site parking is available at £15 per day, though spaces are tight and limited; an alternative is Lucy Tower multi-storey car park at £9 per day next to the hotel. The rail station can be reached in a 10-minute walk.

Highlights

Rooftop bar & restaurant: Marco Pierre White Steakhouse with cathedral views

Panoramic glass lift: Glass-walled lift offering city views

Waterside location: Brayford Waterfront, 3 min walk to High Street

Event spaces: Ballrooms and Aspen Suite for large gatherings

Warm welcome: Complimentary chocolate chip cookie on arrival

“In my opinion, this hotel's prime advantage is its waterside location on Brayford Quay, enhanced by an excellent rooftop bar offering superb city views. The on-site Marco Pierre White Steakhouse adds a layer of upscale dining that distinguishes it. From what I gathered, it's a solid choice for those seeking a blend of comfort and convenience near Lincoln's historic attractions.”
