Comfortably nestling in Shrewsbury's historic town centre, The Golden Cross Hotel offers a whimsically glamorous alternative for visitors bored with the tame impersonality of chain hotels. We welcome anyone who loves character and quirkiness and has a healthy appetite for delicious food... and for life itself!
An intoxicating mix of the best of contemporary interiors sprinkled liberally with shabby chic and antique glamour, our mission at The Golden Cross is simple: we offer a home from home ... somewhere to hang up your hat or lay down your suitcase while enjoying a snifter of understated opulence and large measures of funky style - all at very realistic prices.
We think we've made The Golden Cross into something special. But we're biased! The only way you'll find out is if you come and stay. Then you can judge for yourself.

Really like this place, lovely decor, lovely atmosphere, lovely food but… This was our second visit and I don’t know if there are two owners but each time we have had the same guy and he is so miserable. Served us in an overcoat and scarf presumably because he was too miserable to turn the heating on. Such a shame.
We enjoyed a warm, hospitable welcome from proprietor Gareth, a well-equipped, comfortable room and an excellent breakfast. The Golden Cross has real character and enjoys a great location in the heart of Shrewsbury. Strongly recommended.
Had a great experience at the restaurant, friendly service and amazing food. The ambiance is nice too
Ideal location in the town centre, lovely and quiet considering its location. Decor really shows off the character of the property and our room was spotlessly clean. We were given a warm and friendly welcome from Gareth and Teresa, who allowed us to check in early as the room was available. The bed was the comfiest I have ever slept on. It was like sleeping on a cloud. Thank you so much, we will definitely stay again.
We visited because it was supposed to be the oldest pub in town, the man behind the bar didn’t know nor care, and wasn’t too friendly. Our group included a wheelchair user and the pub claimed to accommodate - it did not so we had to sit out the front. There was an offering of one larger (it was off and the owner didn’t acknowledge) and one ale. The toilets were based down some steps (again not fit for wheelchair users) and the only thing to wash your hands with was shower gel.
