The Swan Southwold

Among the chief attractions of the Suffolk seaside town of Southwold is the Adnams brewery and distillery, and the Swan is the Adnams extension into the world of hospitality. This is a very thorough renovation of a classic hotel, leaving its Georgian façade in its original form and updating the interiors in a vibrant, playful style reminiscent of some of England’s finer country-house hotels; the rooms prominently feature antique-style furniture in ultra-modern colors. The Tap Room bar, naturally, is the hotel’s social center, while the Still Room presents a slightly more refined take on modern British cooking.
