Kings Arms Hotel - 4-Star Hotel in Amersham

The Kings Arms Hotel dates from the Tudor period and is a filming location for Four Weddings and a Funeral and Midsomer Murders. Oliver Cromwell once stayed at this hotel, which now houses the renovated Kings Chapel as an event space. A dedicated wedding coordinator on-site manages ceremonies and receptions for groups of any size.

The Kings Bar & Bistro serves a diverse menu in a rustic ambiance with a log fire in the lounge bar. Guest reviews consistently praise the cooked breakfast and the afternoon tea selection of sandwiches, scones, and cakes. The bar stocks a range of wines and beers, with outdoor seating on the terrace and courtyard.

Guests can choose between rooms in the original Tudor building with sloping floors and low beams or a serviced townhouse a few metres down the street. The hotel sits at the end of the Metropolitan Line, 50 minutes from Wembley Stadium and just over an hour from central London's Bank station. Free on-site parking and unrestricted street parking are available, and the Old Amersham high street offers antique shops and boutiques.

The serviced townhouse accommodates up to six guests with a lounge, dining room, well-equipped kitchen, and a small courtyard garden. Families attending weddings often book multiple rooms, and the hotel provides kids' meals at the restaurant. The Roald Dahl Museum, Amersham Museum, and walking routes in The Chiltern Valleys are all within a short drive.

The Kings Chapel offers a dedicated venue for weddings and special events, with catering provided on-site by the same kitchen that serves the bistro. Business travellers benefit from the 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, and a location 10 minutes from the M40 and M25. The hotel has hosted conferencing for small groups, with buffets served in the historic Coach House.
