First, remember to pronounce it "Darby," to avoid sounding like a hopelessly naïve outsider. Derby is the plain sister to the better known cities of the Midlands, such as Nottingham. Yet, under an unassuming exterior, Derby holds hidden treasures in the form of worthwhile museums and points of interest in and around the city. Not far from Derby are gems such as Keddleston Hall (very close) and Chatsworth House (further afield). Early next year the Derby Mill Museum will reopen. For those into "deeper" history, Derby and the Derwent Valley were key to the birth of the Industrial Revolution. It is a venerated site for history buffs in search of where "it all began," thus changing the world forever.
The facility was under construction and if that wasn't enough we were roomed right next to the very scary elevator. To top it all off the room was pealing, tight, and there was a something splattered on the roof that gave me nightmares. No fridge. No air conditioning. Constant sound of loud traffic outside, and good luck with that climb down to the parking lot.
So much to take in for an unfamiliar first timer to the area. Great home base for our"geneology" excursions to the smaller towns in the area. Great food and shopping, fun driving on the left side ( watch out for the rotary's). Awesome history in the area and friendly people.
I guess you are visiting Derby for a reason, otherwise you would go to the scenic Derbyshire, or the city life in Notitngham or elsewhere. But there's plenty to see if you've time here - theatre and the arts, market, shopping centre, parks, and quick links to Nottingham or other Midlands towns. Someone else could tell you why else to visit - and although they have shociingly knocked down some excellent historic buildings, others have been left when cashflow ended. Road signage and ring roads are tricky, but good with practice; the rail station is an easy walk to the centre of town - but hotels a bit further out may be preferable. As I say, you go to Derby for a reason - visiting friends and relatives, going to Uni, Rolls Royce, train building... but it's worth considering; and Chatsworth House is not far away; nor the Crich Tramway Museum.
We were with relatives and they took us to the Cathedral and the Museum. We ate in a lovely cafe/resturant in the town centre. We also visited the shopping mall where my husband bought me some lovely perfume. So we had a really nice time.
The town center had kept its past roots as it was an industrial city, glad to see a lot of the old buildings being put to use after what they were designed for had come to an end. Lots of pubs and generally an all round good place.
“Stayed here on a business trip and have re booked. Everyone was friendly and couldnt do enough for me, the room was very clean and tidy and all the food was great. Highly recommend this hotel it's the best i've stayed in in Derby.”
“My room was clean with a comfortable bed, tv and free Wi-Fi. All facilities provided were in working order. The staff were friendly and accommodating throughout my stay. EMG has good transport links and is just a ten minute walk from the city centre.”
“Staff very helpful. Allowed us to leave car parked in hotel on checkout day when Derby Ramathon had some roads closed.”
“We have stayed here several times and always love it! The waiters in the restaurant are superb and the hotel can't do enough for you. They willingly arrange extras like flowers in the room if it's a special occasion and always our stay is special. We prefer Barn Cottage - fabulously romantic but not suitable for those with mobility problem as there is a spiral staircase. Fabulous jacuzzi though....”
“Great Pub in a great location . Live music in the bar was very good . I loved the attention to details and although it is not Luxury it is my favourite place to stay and I travel all the time . Next trip to Derby and I will be back .”
