Best Hotels in Chelmsford
Chelmsford is a commuter city with a compact centre, and its hotels divide between the centre, the main roads and the villages. Here is how to choose.
The city centre and the station
Staying in the centre puts the station, the restaurants and the shops within a short walk. It suits a trip by train, with London about forty minutes away.

The edge of the city
Around the A12 and the roads that ring the city, there are larger hotels with their own parking. They suit a visitor who is driving, with the centre a short taxi ride away.

The villages
Writtle, with its village green to the west, and Danbury, on its hill to the east, have quieter places to stay. They suit someone who prefers a rural setting and does not mind the drive.
