Description: THE PORTLAND HOTEL
Sitting opposite the Pavilion gardens, 150 yards from the world famous Buxton Opera House and only a short walk to the town centre the Portland Hotel is the place to stay in this elegant spa town.
The Portland Hotel is ideally situated for walkers and outdoor enthusiasts. One of our most popular away breaks is for walkers and climbers in the area.
 
BEDROOMS
All our 22 bedrooms are en-suite, some have bath with shower and others shower only. As the hotel has been carefully designed from 2 separate houses the bedrooms are individual in decor and size. This is not a characterless, modern purpose built hotel often seen today. We like to think it is a building from a grander era that posseses charm & character. Each room has colour remote control TV, hot drinks tray, telephones. Hairdryers, iron and ironing boards are available upon request.
Our four poster room overlooking the front of the hotel is available for a romantic getaway
