Best Western Stoke on Trent City Centre Hotel
An eco-friendly city-centre base for a wider trip
About this hotel
Best Western Stoke on Trent City Centre Hotel sits in the heart of Stoke-on-Trent, an eco-friendly, award-winning property that runs on both solar and biomass energy, a genuinely unusual detail for a hotel in this area. Cosy bedrooms each have a private bathroom with a hairdryer, tea and coffee facilities and satellite TV, and Bennetts bar serves light meals, snacks and daily specials on site. Stoke-on-Trent's own shops and restaurants sit just a two-minute walk away, giving families a proper city-centre evening out without needing a car. The hotel is less than fifteen minutes from junction 15 of the M6, a thirty-minute drive from Alton Towers and twenty minutes from the Peak District National Park, positioning it as a genuinely central base for a wider Staffordshire trip.

- 30 min to Alton Towers
- Close to M6
Our take
This hotel suits families who want to combine an Alton Towers day with wider Stoke-on-Trent exploring, given the two-minute walk to the city's own shops and restaurants. It is a more urban option than the countryside inns elsewhere in this guide, which will appeal to some families and feel less suited to others wanting a rural retreat.
- ✓Walk into Stoke-on-Trent's own shops and restaurants for the evening rather than relying solely on the hotel's own Bennetts bar.
- ✓Use the M6 junction 15 access for an efficient drive if you are also planning to visit the Peak District National Park.
- ✓Book ahead during Stoke City home matches, since the city centre can get busier than usual around the bet365 Stadium.

Why guests love itFamilies using this hotel as a base for wider Stoke-on-Trent exploring often mention the two-minute walk to the city's own shops and restaurants as a genuine advantage over the countryside inns elsewhere in the area. The eco-friendly solar and biomass energy use draws specific comment from guests who value that detail. The thirty-minute drive to Alton Towers is longer than some closer options, which families prioritise against the benefit of a proper city-centre stay.
