About The Lygon Arms
The Lygon Arms was once re-known as the UK’s oldest and most prestigious coaching Inn set in the heart of the Cotswolds. This is a grade one and two listed building, the roots of which date back to the 1300’s.The location of the property served as a connection between Wales, Worcester, and London during the Elizabethan times. At The Lygon Arms, you can visit the suite that Oliver Cromwell stayed in the night before the Battles of Worcester in 1651.The suite now known as the impressive King Charles I Suite was where King Charles I and his supporters would assemble.
In recent history, it was owned by the late, great hotelier Douglas Barrington OBE, who operated the property for more than 40 years. Barrington, winner of the Lifetime Achievement Catey Award in 1989, sold the hotel to the Savoy Group in 1985 when he became a member of the Savoy Group board.
In January 2016, property developer brothers Ian and Richard Livingstone purchased The Lygon Arms. The hotel now sits within the newly formed Iconic Luxury Hotels collection – headed by Andrew Stembridge.
