Where to Stay in Worcester
Choosing where to stay in Worcester can make a big difference to your visit, whether you’re here for a short break, a longer stay, or a specific event. Each area of the city offers a slightly different experience, from central convenience to quieter residential neighbourhoods.
At Let of Luxury, we offer serviced accommodation across key areas of Worcester, giving guests the flexibility and space of a home, with the practical comforts often missing from standard hotel rooms.
Worcester City Centre
Staying in Worcester city centre puts you within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants, historic attractions, and transport links. It’s a popular choice for guests visiting for business, events, or short city breaks.
City centre accommodation is ideal if you want:
- Easy access to shops, cafés, and restaurants
- Walking distance to Worcester Cathedral and the River Severn
- Close proximity to Foregate Street and Shrub Hill train stations
Serviced accommodation in the city centre offers more space than a hotel room, making it suitable for both solo travellers and groups.
St John’s
St John’s is a well-established residential area located just outside the city centre. It’s particularly popular with families, longer-stay guests, and those visiting the University of Worcester’s St John’s campus.
This area is well suited for:
- University visits and academic stays
- Families looking for quieter surroundings
- Guests who prefer residential streets with easy access into the city
St John’s also benefits from good bus routes and local shops, making it a practical and comfortable place to stay.

Diglis and the riverside areas offer a calmer setting, while still being within easy reach of the city centre. These locations are popular with guests who enjoy walks along the River Severn and a slightly more relaxed pace during their stay.
Ideal for:

- Guests attending riverside events
- Those who enjoy scenic walking routes and open spaces
Accommodation in this area provides a balance between location and tranquillity.
