The Bournemouth hotels to book for the best seaside escape

The coastal town is as close as the UK comes to a riviera – and these are the best hotels in Bournemouth.

BEST HOTELS IN BOURNEMOUTH

Whether you want to stay right by the beach or away from the centre of town in Mudeford Quay, we’ve found the hotel in Bournemouth for you.

The weather may not always reach beach-going temperatures, but as a winter beach, the coastal stretch is lovely – the wide sandy beaches have won awards and you’ll soon see why. Bournemouth Beach draws the crowds for its fun-loving pier, with rides, an arcade, restaurants and even a zip-line.

You’ll find quieter stretches of sand by simply walking east or west along the promenade, towards the Isle of Wight in the distance or Old Harry Rocks.

Don’t miss a trip along the coast to Studland to see its chalky cliffs. Another wonderful walk is up to Hengistbury Head for views across to the Isle of Wight.

The Christchurch Harbour Hotel in Mudeford Quay has an excellent seafood restaurant, the Jetty, and a spa with a sea-facing garden to relax in after your treatment. Or check in to the Hilton in time for sunset cocktails with a view at its Sky Bar. These are the best hotels in Bournemouth…
