DoubleTree by Hilton, Reading
DoubleTree by Hilton Reading M4 J10 welcomes guests to enjoy this charming and historical property.
DoubleTree by Hilton has opened its doors on the edge of Reading Town Centre. The 129-room hotel is conventionally located within close proximity to the M4 corridor and just 35 miles from Heathrow Airport. The latest addition to DoubleTree by Hilton, one of Hilton’s 15 market-leading brands, marks the first DoubleTree property in Reading and joins an existing 50 DoubleTree by Hilton hotels in the United Kingdom.
The historic and modern hotel is set on 10.5 acres of natural landscape, offering views of the surrounding River Lodden. Guests are within reach of the town centre and only an hour out from central London, providing the ideal base for both business and leisure travellers. The hotel is also perfectly situated for guests to explore anything Reading and the surrounding area has to offer including Windsor Castle, Ascot racecourse and LEGOLAND. Business travellers are only a short distance from the area’s three global business parks; Green park, Thames Valley and Winnersh Triangle Business Park, for which the hotel provides a shuttle service.

With a relaxed, speakeasy vibe, Whisky Charlie offers technical and creative cocktails with clever flavours and unique presentations, as well as fine wines and beers. By day, sip a cappuccino and nibble on macaroons or relax and unwind with a signature Bill Heck’s Old Fashion or drop in for the hotel’s very own local tail, The Lion of Sindlesham, served to perfection.
Those looking for an authentic traditional country pub experience can visit the Poachers Pub to taste real ales in the cosy atmosphere of log fires, inside the original 19th Century mill, a grade II listed building.
