The 4* DoubleTree By Hilton Stratford-Upon-Avon is located in the centre of the market town and is just a 6-minute walk from the rail station as well as being easy to reach by the M40. Stratford-Upon-Avon is famously known as the town that Shakespeare was born, so there are many activities to explore focusing on this. Visitors can take a 5-minute walk from the hotel to Shakespeare`s Birthplace, which offers tours and opportunities to learn about the playwright`s past. Theatre lovers can take a 13-minute stroll through the town to reach the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, which is also next to The Swan Theatre. An alternative activity for all the family would be a 15-minute walk to visit the Stratford Butterfly Farm, the UK`s largest tropical butterfly attraction. More Info.
