ragwert Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 The green dragon in Broad Street has been bought by a consortium of local investors who are planning to restore it to its former glory. Work will begin on the restoration later this year. https://www.herefordtimes.com/news/16589656.county-investors-to-refurbish-green-dragon-hotel/?ref=mr&lp=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hereford Voice Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 This is very good news for Hereford and Broad Street. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 I think this is money badly spent by the investors'. Premier Inn by the football ground is being built. When punters search for hotels online I doubt The Green Dragon will hit the radar. Hereford City, in my opinion, has very little to offer to tourists' from further afield.

Denise Lloyd Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 The Cathedral would be fairly high up on the to visit list surely 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not agree, this hotel is smack in the city centre and if done right will be the centre piece hotel, good to see people investing locally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubique Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 I am meeting a man who is stopping at the Green Dragon at the end of the month with his wife . I will report back his observations . ( I accept that the refurbishment etc would not have commenced by then) As an aside the man I am meeting I last met on the 8th January 1957 , we were both 15 yr olds who had joined the Recruits Troop , Boys Regt RA at Bradbury Lines .

Agree.You only have to look at the sucsess of Castle House to see that a revamp of the Green Dragon can only be a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise Lloyd Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 I may well be incorrect but I would say it is also the nearest decent hotel to Rotherwas for those business people who are staying overnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And ancient buildings. I accept that. But I think Hereford has not got enough 'bucket list' type draw factors, or events, to attract a steady stream of people regardless of the time of year. One major event that does act as a magnet is the beer/cider thing at the side of the Wye. People travel miles to spend money in Hereford for that. And camp.
