About Chapel Fields
Where to stay in Chapel Fields
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
St Mary Magdalen is the local marker. Chapel Fields is a district rather than a destination in its own right, so most visitors take a room in Coventry and travel out to the streets around the church when they have a reason. The choice is simple enough.
Coventry keeps the beds, Chapelfields keeps the name, and the distance between the two is a matter of city streets rather than any real journey.
