It is unclear whether the woman was a guest at the adjoining Premier Inn hotel or was just at the restaurant for lunch.
The pub was closed this morning, with a notice on the door apologising to customers for any inconvenience.
A spokeswoman for Whitbread said: ‘Our thoughts are with the guest’s friends and family at this very sad time.’
