The Swan is a hotel in the heart of Arundel, set on the High Street and close to the town’s 12th century castle and other central sights. Housed in a Grade II listed Victorian building that dates back to 1759, it brings together historic character and the ease of a modern stay in one of the town’s most recognizable addresses. From here, Arundel opens up on foot, with the day’s pace shaped by the streets, shops, and heritage landmarks around you. Inside, the feel is practical and comfortable, with heating, WiFi in all areas, and non-smoking rooms for a straightforward stay. Where available, pet-friendly rooms make it easier to bring your dog along, and child-friendly features add flexibility for different kinds of trips. Some stays also include breakfast in the room, giving you a quieter start before heading out. Shared spaces give The Swan its social rhythm. There is a restaurant serving freshly prepared food, a bar with real ales and continental lagers, and a breakfast service that reflects the property’s longstanding hospitality. Guests can also make use of board games and puzzles, packed lunches, and other services that keep the stay running smoothly. The building’s historic setting is paired with modern safety and convenience features, including CCTV, smoke alarms, and contactless check-in and check-out. Staying at The Swan puts you in an easy position to explore Arundel at ground level, with practical access to town-center parking options nearby and the advantage of being able to come and go on foot. It feels settled, central, and distinctly tied to the character of the street it has watched over for generations.

Lovely hotel. Great breakfast. Fabulous location.
Negative:
The hotel had only been open a couple of days since its refurbishment. A tiny couple of points: the bathroom bin in our room hadn’t been emptied and the breakfast was missing a couple of things compared to the menu (toast and hash brown). Later points were swiftly and efficiently dealt with !!
Summary: Lovely room, fab location - great value for money.
