Hilton Bournemouth  

Centrally located in Bournemouth, this family-friendly hotel sits just a short walk from the Bournemouth International Centre and the golden sands of Bournemouth Beach. It's opposite the Lower Gardens and close to the Pier, Oceanarium and town centre attractions. Bournemouth Airport is roughly 7 miles away, with the New Forest and Poole Harbour within easy driving distance.

Rooms are styled in cool, calm tones and filled with natural light from large windows. Expect refrigerators, flat-screen TVs, roomy desks, laptop-compatible safes and private bathrooms with complimentary toiletries; executive rooms and suites are also available.

Recharge at a full-service spa offering massages, facials, sauna and steam facilities, then swim in the heated indoor pool. Keep fit in the complimentary 24-hour fitness centre and relax at a sky-level bar and terrace with coastal views. Additional touches include a hair salon, wedding services and concierge — wake up to sea-breeze mornings just steps from the promenade.

About 6,600 sq ft of flexible conference space with multiple meeting rooms, a boardroom and a ballroom make this a strong events hotel. A 24-hour business centre and computer station are on-site, with express check-in/out, complimentary Wi‑Fi and onsite parking (charges may apply).

An on-site restaurant serves modern British and Mediterranean-influenced dishes from an open kitchen, while a coffee lounge is perfect for quick bites. Two bars pour cocktails and small plates, and 24-hour room service plus English breakfasts are available for a fee.
