Frommer's Review
A 5-minute walk west of Worcester's cathedral, this hotel occupies the industrial-age premises of the Fownes Glove Factory (ca. 1892). A civic monument and source of income for many local residents until glove-wearing went out of fashion, it was converted in the 1980s into Worcester's most interesting large hotel. Public rooms are attractively outfitted and are unified by a decorating theme that includes gilt-edged photographs of the hotel during its glove-making heyday. Bedrooms are cozy and furnished in a conservative English style that includes the wide or tall many-paned windows of the factory's original construction. Each comes with a small bathroom featuring a combination tub/shower. Some 32 units are set aside for nonsmokers.
Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; room service; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; 1 room for those w/limited mobility
