Bournemouth Hotels

The ultimate British seaside resort, Bournemouth has been popular since it sprang up as a spa town in the Victorian era. People travelled to our unparalleled coast for the medicinal benefits of the sea air and pine-scented walkways. It was this influx of visitors that brought about a need for large hotels in Bournemouth offering picturesque views of the panoramic vistas. Ever since then, the most iconic images of Bournemouth feature majestic clifftop hotels, synonymous with the British seaside holiday. 

Many of these period properties still operate as hotels today, and many of our large hotels have a rich history and stories to tell. Most of the hotels in the coastal East Cliff and West Cliff areas offer 3- or 4-star accommodation, with plenty of rooms to cater for the large number of families and groups that visit Bournemouth. In recent years, there’s also been a wave of renovation projects at these hotels to bring them back to their former glory.

Seaside Hotels

With miles of golden beaches and coastline, there are a plethora of hotels in Bournemouth offering incredible rooms with sea views and short walks to the beach. The historic Hotel Miramar, nestled on the clifftops of Bournemouth, has been offering seaside luxury for many years now and is a firm favourite for visitors. Other iconic seaside hotels found in the destination include Marsham Court, Hermitage Hotel, The Cumberland, and Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel, just to name a few.

Hotels with a Pool 

Bournemouth is famous for its microclimate and typically warmer temperatures throughout the year compared to other parts of the UK, so it makes sense to find a hotel that offers a pool to sunbathe next to and cool off in during your stay here. You will find a number of hotels with outdoor and indoor pool offerings at accommodation providers such as Hotel Collingwood, Carlton Bournemouth, East Cliff, the Cumberland, Queens Hotels & Spa, and many more.
