Crown Hotel

About Crown Hotel

The Crown in Old Amersham, situated at the end of the Metropolitan Line and 40 minutes from London, is the second in a family of modern day coaching inns recently renovated by the designer Ilse Crawford (other works include Babington House). The old timber building is situated in the centre of the historic market town, attracting locals, restaurant guests and night time travelers. The inns interior is made up of rural materials - from Ercol chairs made in High Wycombe to traditional plaster made from lime and horsehair. The /back room/ with its inglenook fire and view of the cobbled courtyard is perfect for private gatherings and feasting of up to 40, while the bar and restaurant area is the communal heartbeat of the inn. The seasonally inspired, locally sourced food is overseen by the celebrated Rosie Sykes (author of The Kitchen Revolution). In-between times are satisfied with home baked cheese scones and fruit cake with Cashel Blue while the main menus changes daily

Located in the heart of Amersham, the Crown Hotel dates to the early 16th Century and has provided a romantic and honeymoon retreat for many years. There are a combination of traditionally decorated rooms and more modern styled contemporary rooms, along with four poster suites for the ultimate romantic break. All rooms include TV, telephone and wireless Internet access. The Courtyard Restaurant serves a selection of locally sourced dishes and guests can dine al fresco in the courtyard.
