Warwick Castle's controversial new hotel has now opened, after months of work on site.

Planning permission for the 60-bed hotel was granted in May 2022, despite objections from locals, with the hotel taking over many spaces at the Stratford Road car park.

And the new facility, which is inspired by the War of the Roses, officially opened for the first time today (July 22).

Liam Bartlett, general manager at Warwick Castle said: "We are so proud to announce that we will be opening the doors of the Warwick Castle Hotel on Monday.

"Following years of meticulously planning every element to make each stay inspiring and memorable for our visitors, it's incredibly exciting that we will be sharing our newest accommodation offering with our guests from next week, offering something unique across the seasons."

Overnight stays will start at £159, and the hotel adds to the castle's existing Knight's Village accommodation.

Warwick Castle has invested £16.4 million into the hotel development, with an additional 1,000 trees set to be planted in the castle grounds.
