Royal Clarence/ABode Exeter Hotel

Just a 2-minute walk from the rail station, this hotel offers far more tradition and style than the sometimes better-rated and more recently built Southgate at Southernhay East, or the Thistle on Queen Street . It dates from 1769 and escaped the Nazi Blitz. Just a step away from the cathedral, it offers individually furnished rooms in categories classified as comfortable, desirable, enviable, and fabulous. Five rooms are large enough for families; some rooms have four-poster beds.

An acclaimed two-star Michelin chef (Michael Caines) and a top-notch hotelier of south England (Andrew Brownsword) have joined in partnership to run this hotel. A chic little nook, the Moët et Chandon Champagne & Cocktail Bar, has been added.
