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.

I liked the style, tranquillity and grandeur of the hotel. Plush and of a different era. Felt special when I went in there. I was delighted when I was upgraded to a room with a window and a view of the sea.

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.

    Friendly and professional Staff greeted us at Reception, was very happy and surprised to learn that we were given a room with a four poster bed which was very comfortable. The rest of the room had all we needed with a jacquzzi bath much to my Husband's delight and he went for a 'bubble'. The Hotel had 3 Bars, one had a very late licence (4am) i think that one was. Very central to the Beach and shopping, also opposite to The BIC and close to Bournemouth Pavillion.

    Really nice hotel, with a spacious, quiet and spotlessly clean room. I've stayed in many hotels in Bournemouth, and this place is a thousand times better than what you get for the same price in the main town. Great location, with a pretty beach and a lovely 30-min walk to Bournemouth along the seafront, and buses every 5 minutes. The management were very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely stay there again.

The owner was very friendly, carried my luggage up the stairs & was very helpful with suggestions on what to do in the area. I would highly recommend the "Newark" when staying in "Bournemouth".
