Story

Castle Hotel began life in 1528 as The Mermaid Inn - humbly brewing beer and cider for the people of Windsor: then scarcely a town of 1,000 people. However, in the 1700s the innkeeper Richard Martin was awarded the first of the hotel's eight RoyalWarrants - to provide horses and carriages for the royal household - and the hotel grew with the population of Windsor to become one of the grandest hotels in town. By the 19th century Castle Hotel was unrivalled as the finest place to stay in Windsor.

Castle Hotel Windsor is a 4-star hotel based in the heart of Windsor town centre, located opposite the Windsor Castle and Windsor Guildhall.
