“This 18th-century hotel has a gin bar with a dizzying array of choices and a restaurant focused on modern British fare; it stands a short walk from Lichfield Cathedral, right in the city centre. The Real Ale Trail runs right through it, and its event spaces are well-suited for weddings and other gatherings where customization matters; I think it's a very solid choice. It's a friendly place, and that, along with its location, is what stands out.”
