Hotel Review
East Walls Hotel, Chichester, West Sussex
A Georgian building in central Chichester has been sensitively restored to create this boutique hotel with a quality finish and a marriage of old and new decor. You'll find European antiques, some intricately carved, in the bedrooms as well as ensuite bathrooms that are bang up-to-date. East Walls has a lovely location - a short stroll from the town centre attractions, but in a quiet street overlooking a park from its upper rooms. It's best suited to romantic getaways or as a base for cultural breaks. There's a small bar for pre-theatre drinks and you can also relax over tea in the secluded garden. Leave room for pancakes at breakfast.
