WHAT WE LOVE...

Comfortable, buzzing and packed with character, this historic city centre hotel has been totally renovated in bright and bold colours, art and artifacts, and is an absolute delight. Housed in a handsome building and with 83 ensuite rooms, The Green Dragon Hotel is a couple of minutes' walk from Hereford cathedral shops, bars and restaurants. One of the oldest hotels in Britain, it dates back more than 900 years. Today, the Hereford restaurant serves delicious dinners that champion local, independent food and drink producers. Head for the stylish Garrick Lounge for a scrumptious afternoon tea, the Offa Bar for cocktails, or cosy Orange Bar for a nightcap. There's also a Ballroom.
