The Chine Hotel, Bournemouth

Believed by many to be Bournemouth's best-kept secret, this hotel is a true oasis of comfort and relaxation, set in 3 acres of mature gardens which provide a spectacular backdrop to the 87 bedrooms.

The hotel is only a 2-minute leisurely walk from miles of golden sandy beaches, and just a 5-minute drive from Bournemouth's bustling town centre, which boasts excellent shopping and entertainment.

In the evenings, after a long day, you can visit the Chine’s AA Rosette award-winning restaurant, where you can sample a freshly prepared meal whilst admiring in the breathtaking sea views.

The Seaview Restaurant is in one of the most charming rooms of the hotel, with stunning views out over the treetops to Poole Bay and towards the Isle of Wight. The menu has achieved an AA Red Rosette for food, and one meal in this delightful restaurant will illustrate to you why. The menu has been carefully composed by head chef and includes fresh fish, meat and vegetarian delicacies. You can enjoy the ambiance of the Seaview Restaurant for lunch and dinner - room service is, however, always available. Before you dine why not enjoy a drink in the cosy Cocktail Bar, next to a roaring fire?
