Treat yourself to a trip by the sea and stay at TripAdvisor's No 1 Bournemouth hotel. This 4 Star BEST WESTERN PLUS Connaught Hotel & Spa is nestled on the West Cliff and is just a short walk to Bournemouth's beautiful, golden, sandy beaches, the BIC, Pavilion Theatre and the lively town centre.
Having lovingly retained its classy 19th century facade – from the impressive pillared entrance to the romantic red ivy-clad walls – the hotel goes for modern chic inside with nicely furnished bedrooms and soft and comfortable beds to sink into at night. For extra indulgence ask for the Orchid Suite or the new Tulip Suite and submerge tired limbs in a roll-top bath or sip wine on your own balcony. Work up an appetite in the hotel’s Bluewater Spa & Leisure Club, featuring an 18m pool, two gyms and deluxe spa, and refuel at Blakes, their double rosette restaurant, famous for its fine dining and views to the serene terrace garden.
The top floor is now fully air-conditioned to include all balcony rooms, 2 executive rooms, 48 and 58 plus the Orchid Suite.
The Connaught Hotel also has a Spa and Venue:
Bluewater Spa & Leisure Club (Spa Section)
The Connaught Hotel (Wedding Venue Section)

10 Historic Hotels along the English Riviera by Adrian Mourby
"With its bay windows and turrets the Connaught Hotel was clearly built as a family home in the 1850s. As such it was part of the rapid development of Bournemouth that followed its inclusion in a book The Spas of England, by the physician Augustus Granville. Granville’s book (1841) drew visitors who hitherto had preferred Weymouth and Brighton."
