As well as some wonderful beaches near at hand, Portsmouth has plenty to explore - from Henry VIII's Mary Rose to World War II submarines. Charles Dickens was born in Portsmouth and his birthplace is now a museum. Interesting day trips include Chichester with its majestic cathedral and world famous theatre, and Beaulieu Abbey with its unique collection of veteran cars.

Portsmouth's naval history is very much part of the hotel with the HM Naval Base, home to the Mary Rose and HMS Victory, just 200 yards away. The hotel is also well placed for exploring the D-Day Museum, Royal Marines Museum and a host of other maritime attractions. For those who wish to explore further afield, Beaulieu and the New Forest are only a short distance drive and the Isle of Wight ferry is only minutes from our doors. We are also conveniently situated for the continental ferry port.

Some of our rooms have views across the harbour where you can spend the evening admiring the ships such as the historic HMS Warrior pictured right.
