An extraordinary setting in the heart of Lincoln
16 individually decorated rooms, steps from Lincoln Cathedral.
Our Story
A converted chapel. An unforgettable stay.
Nestled in the shadow of Lincoln Cathedral, The Old Palace occupies one of the city's most remarkable buildings — a former Victorian chapel reimagined as an intimate boutique guesthouse.
Each of our sixteen rooms has been individually decorated, blending original architectural character with contemporary comforts. Expect generous proportions, fine linens, and the quiet luxury of a building steeped in centuries of history.
Step outside and you are moments from the Cathedral, the medieval Bailgate quarter, and some of Lincoln's finest independent shops and restaurants.
