BEST WESTERN - THE KINGS ARMS
Even though a recent expenditure of over £1 million has been spent on modernising and refurbishing the hotel, you can still feel the history that is associated with its 288 year existence, you can imagine the scene of Michael Henchard The Mayor of Casterbridge carrying on his business in the Kings Arms as described in the novel by Thomas Hardy. The author himself descibed it as the chief hotel in Casterbridge — namely, Best Western - The Kings Arms.

ACCOMMODATION
The Kings Arms Hotel was built in 1720 in the very centre of Dorchester during the reign of King George I. Throughout the intervening years several English monarchs including George IV and Queen Victoria have been residents at this fine old coaching inn; more recently Prince Charles and Prince Andrew have been seen frequenting the hotel whilst in the area. From the moment you arrive through the near 300 year old portico, the reception area is welcoming and sets the scene for your stay within the plush comfort of this historic building.[Click for more information]
