It has magnificent and unbeatable location to the seafront or the town centre. And it's nestled in a very well maintained building just off the restaurant and the spa, beach/cable cars, and the beach, pier or centre of Bournemouth.

Simply stunning place, it was neat and had top-class staff from reception to bar to chambermaids. I got a tastefully decorated room with comfy bed. This hotel was set in a very central area right by shops, restaurants, bars, pubs & of course the beach, the seafront or the town centre and Town Centre and Restaurants & Bars.
