  • Timeless touches: A place where distinctive charm meets contemporary elegance, Hotel du Vin Exeter provides a sophisticated city escape. Housed in a handsome red-brick building, the hotel provides an array of thoughtfully furnished, boutique-style guest rooms, each with their own unique character and pops of colour. Elsewhere, a historic walled garden offers a tranquil retreat, while the hotel’s prime location means you’re just a stone’s throw from Exeter Cathedral.

The elegant, yet informal setting boasts a the ideal backdrop for a memorable dining experience. Meanwhile, the hotel's vibrant bar scene offers a variety of options. Relax in the airy glass-fronted lounge with garden views, or unwind in the cosy snug with a handcrafted cocktail. For social moments in the warmer months, the expansive terrace also provides the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine and lively conversation.

  • An oasis of calm: Unwind and rejuvenate at the hotel’s spa, a haven of tranquillity away from the noise of the city. Indulge in a selection of optional natural treatments from Devon, all designed to leave you feeling refreshed and revitalised, and let expert therapists soothe you with luxurious REN and Nimue products. After a long day spent uncovering Exeter’s many cultural gems, you could also take a dip in the outdoor heated pool, or soothe your muscles in the small indoor hydra jet pool.
