We enjoyed our stay here for the third time. The room was spacious and comfortable and the breakfast was very good, lots of choice. The entrance lobby is striking with a beautiful staircase. There has obviously been an effort to restore the hotel from faded glory into somewhere you would want to stay. The pianist in the lobby on the Saturday evening was a nice touch. There is a £5 charge for 24 hours of parking which is very reasonable as finding a space in Buxton when its busy can be difficult. We will be returning soon.

The charm of the hotels of this brand is history. Mostly youth do not understand these establishments, so visitors are mostly older people.

The Palace Hotel is an imposing and very grand institution, doing its best to keep afloat in the c21. It feels like it has cut its costs - particularly staffing - to the bone. But it still gives a feeling of granduer. The food is good. Pity the coffee etc machines don't work too well!
