The Old Hall Hotel is a hotel in Buxton, Derbyshire, England, and is one of the oldest buildings in the town.[1][2]

The current building dates from the Restoration period, built around and incorporating an earlier fortified tower.

According to the Derbyshire Archeological Journal (1994): "In the national context, the survival of a building which accommodated both Mary Queen of Scots and much of the Elizabethan nobility is of considerable note. Its importance in architectural terms is further enhanced as it is believed to be the earliest known British building of cross-axial form."[3]
