Best Western Ipswich Hotel

Old London RoadIP8 3JD

Best Western Ipswich Hotel and Spa, is set snuggly in its quiet countryside surroundings, but we're also just a stone's throw from the A12 and A14, meaning easy access to all major routes (and just far enough away from the hassle of parking in town).

All of our bedrooms are furnished to a high and impressive standard, whilst our restaurant serves up stunning views overlooking the well groomed lawns. Join us to eat, sleep and meet all under one roof.
