Best Hotels in Preston
Preston is a compact Lancashire city on the Ribble with a Victorian station, so most good stays are close to the centre. Here is how three parts compare.
Fishergate and the station
Fishergate is Preston's main shopping street, running up from the railway station into the heart of the city. Staying near it suits a train arrival on the West Coast Main Line, with cafes and shops by day and Winckley Square a short walk away. It is a working city centre, not a quiet retreat.

Winckley Square, Georgian and composed
Winckley Square is a tree filled Georgian garden square just off Fishergate, surrounded by period buildings now mostly used as offices and places to eat. A stay within sight of it feels composed and walkable, and is usually quieter at night than the main shopping street.

Preston Docks, space and water
Preston Docks and Riversway lie west of the centre on the Ribble, around a large basin and a marina with modern buildings. This suits drivers who prefer room to breathe over a walkable centre. The city is a taxi ride away.
