Queen Hotel, Aldershot

Hotel accommodation.

A landmark building of historic importance, first licensed in 1857 and Grade II listed. This hotel was rescued, restored and reopened by Wetherspoon in 2014. The bar area has a light and airy feel; slightly café bar in style with a long single marble topped bar and an open plan area with exposed beams. Pictures of old Aldershot abound, including postcards set into the tabletops. Major free to air TV sports events are shown. To the left of the bar, two original rooms have been retained, both accessed by separate short flights of steps from the bar. The room overlooking Princes Gardens has a real fire which is well used in the colder months and provides a cosy haven. To the right of the bar and outside is a large attractive enclosed patio and covered smoking area which is a suntrap when conditions allow. Close to both the Princes Hall and the cinema, the Queen Hotel also has seven well-appointed bedrooms. Now included in the January “London Beer Festival” as well as the bi-annual (March and October) Wetherspoon Beer Festivals the Queen Hotel also has occasional local brewery “Tap Takeover” events.
