The Palace Hotel  

On Southend-on-Sea’s seafront, a short walk from Adventure Island and the iconic Southend Pier. This beach hotel puts Southend Beach, Three Shells Beach and the New Empire Theatre just minutes away, with London Southend Airport roughly 5 km from the door.

The property offers 137 colourful, clean rooms with scenic sea or town views. Rooms come with flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, private bathrooms with complimentary toiletries and hairdryers, plus laptop‑compatible safes and desks. Modern, simple décor keeps the vibe fresh and unfussy.

Enjoy an on-site restaurant and bar with 24-hour room service, a fitness centre and a terrace with views. There’s a 24-hour reception, elevator, concierge and wedding services. Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected — and you can literally wake up to sea-breeze mornings from rooms with views.

Well suited for meetings and events, the hotel features a business centre, express check-in/check-out and about 3,767 sq ft (350 m²) of conference and meeting space with dedicated meeting rooms.

On-site dining serves hearty, healthy dishes in a casual bar and grill setting. Continental breakfast is available for a fee, and 24-hour room service covers late arrivals or seaside nights in.
