Royal Bath Hotel & Spa Bournemouth, hotel in Bournemouth

Opened on Queen Victoria's coronation day in June 1838, the Royal Bath Hotel & Spa Bournemouth was the first hotel in Bournemouth. It offers 3 hotel restaurants, a health spa and lovely sea views.

We overall enjoyed our stay at The Royal Bath Hotel ; being' so close to the seafront was great as we've both got mobility issues so not alot of walking was involved , and the hotel's garden was beautiful maintained enjoyed a stroll around it in the evening. Breakfast was a buffet which did provide a good choice.

Park Central Hotel, hotel in Bournemouth

With its seafront setting, the Park Central Hotel offers the perfect location for both business and leisure travellers.

Room was lovely bed was comfortable and so nice not to hear all of the noise outside as last time we stayed we were in an older room and got no sleep due to all the noise from the night life. We got upgraded which was lovely as it was our 20th wedding anniversary we were in room 309. The bathroom a bit tired looking though!. Tea coffee was good in the room too 👍😊 thankyou for a lovely stay. Breakfast was excellent and we dined in the crab restaurant which was superb too.

FAQs about hotels in Bournemouth







Sea Air and Savoir-Faire

Known for its sandy beaches and good nightlife, Bournemouth is a popular seaside resort on the Dorset coast between Poole and Christchurch.

The town is centred on the Bourne River, running downhill towards the sea by Bournemouth Pier. This pier looks back towards a promenade lined with beach huts at the foot of grassy cliffs. The promenade continues west to Poole, while a road goes east to neighbouring Boscombe, where anglers often fish from its pier. Overlooking it is a clifftop road housing some Bournemouth hotels with sea views.

Booking.com also offers hotels near the BIC – Bournemouth International Centre in the West Cliff area. This convention centre and music venue is a short walk from the Art Deco Pavilion Theatre, located next to the Lower Gardens. In this popular city park is the Bournemouth Eye, a tethered hot air balloon that offers far-reaching views.

At the park’s top end the river disappears under a large square, then emerges in the Central Gardens. Overlooking these gardens is the Victorian town hall, which used to be one of several spa hotels in Bournemouth. Opposite is a Grade I-listed church, and St Peter’s Church has the grave of Mary Shelley, author of ‘Frankenstein’.

On the outskirts of town, near 4 golf courses and the Castlepoint Shopping Centre, is Bournemouth Airport.

    We only stayed one full day, and I will say there is a lot to see and do so a couple days is reccomended. The beach was nice, with some great restaurants and options for bars in town. It is an old town, and there are some areas that could use restoration, but it has a certain charm. Everywhere we went the people were freindly.

    Location is the best location near beach and Bournemouth centre or garden. My room was on top floor family room which was nice but the lift was out of order I have to take my luggage up to the top floor, The staff was too busy to help me. The room was a bit small in size despite of three people. The price is a bit overprice it is more than the 4-star hotel price. The hotel was overall very clean and refurnished with british lovely decoration. The staff was kind enough. if the price is lower I will come again. Thank you

    I stay at the Lynden Court Hotel every year, this being my sixth time. The location is great, only a short walk from both the town and the beaches, there's plenty of places to go and explore, in and around Bournemouth with Poole, Dorchester, Weymouth and Christchurch on the door step. There's lovley walks along the prom from Sandbanks right along to Hengistbury. The rooms are of a good size plenty big enough for two. Tea and coffee is provided. There's a continental breakfast, which is help yourself.

    It was our second time visiting Bournemouth and staying at The Pavillion Arms. We've stayed in the suite room as a family of 5 (2 adults, 2 kids and a dog) and it's by far the best hotel for a large family to stay in the area. The room was very comfortable, with very friendly staff and a great restaurant. Also, great location within a walking distance of the town centre and beach, but in a quieter and much nicer location. We will come back again soon!

    I had a very pleasant stay by the sea. The apartment was spotlessly cleaned and well equipped. My first experience booking a whole apartmnet rather than a hotel. It was compact but absolutly spot on for my needs. Free parking space was an unexpected bonus for the town centre location. Thank you again for your help and letting me book in the last minute. I will most likely be back with my family in the summer to enjoy Bournemouth Beach.
