The Royal Hotel is one of the leading luxury hotels and fine dining destinations on the South Coast of England. Awarded AA Four Silver Stars and named the “Ultimate Hotel Experience” by Red Funnel, The Royal is nestled in lush, south-facing subtropical gardens filled with vibrant wildlife, sunbathing lizards, and seasonal blooms like Geraniums, Echiums, and Wisteria.
"The Royal is a handsome, four-storey building fronted by a pretty wrought iron veranda that overlooks Ventnor’s Esplanade and the English Channel." The Telegraph Travel
For the best al fresco views, head for the clifftop Riviera Terrace. The nearby Ventnor Bay and Steephill Cove, heated outdoor pool and daily high tea make this a great choice for families.

Surrounded by cliffs and graceful English Channel coastline, Ventnor possesses an unrivalled and enduring beauty along with its own subtropical micro-climate.
