Ely House Hotel

An independent 18-room hotel in a Georgian building on Tettenhall Road, just past Chapel Ash on the western side of the centre. Listings describe the building as a former girls' school from around 1742; it was renovated in 2007. Rooms are individually decorated, breakfast is cooked to order, and there is a small bar and free parking on site. The city centre is about a ten-minute walk, and West Park and Molineux are both close. It suits people who want a quiet base rather than a chain. Mainstream hotel, not a gay venue.
