Hart’s Hotel belongs to Tim Hart, owner of Hambleton Hall in nearby Rutland, which for 25 years has been regarded as one of Britain’s top country house hotels with a top rated restaurant.

Tim Hart’s first Nottingham venture was Hart's Restaurant which opened in 1997 in part of the former general hospital. In 2003 Hart’s Hotel opened 20 metres from the restaurant.

The hotel is a striking modern building designed by architect Julian Marsh and situated on part of the old ramparts of Nottingham’s medieval castle. The build won a RIBA design award.

The hotel’s interior was designed by Stefa Hart who says ‘Hart’s is a modern classic, which I hope will look good in 100 years time. Hart’s is not at all impersonal, more a home from home. Every guest is treated as an individual – not a room number.’

High quality contemporary furniture and artwork combine with Julian Marsh’s architecture to give an up to the minute look – which never neglects comfort and practicality.
