Property Description
Perched on Bournemouths famous East Cliff, Carlton Hotel, BW Signature Collection by Best Western offers dramatic views across the bay.
Built in the Victorian era, the hotel has a rich history and has attracted some illustrious guests over the years, including Harold Macmillan, Bobby Moore and General Eisenhower, who debated D-Day landing plans with Field Marshal Montgomery over lunch at the hotel during World War Two.
Meander down the path from the clifftop and youll be basking on the golden sands in no time, while a 15-minute walk along the seafront takes you to the Oceanarium and Bournemouth Pier. Heading out of town, wander among the flowerbeds at Boscombe Chine Gardens or dig for fossils along the Jurassic Coast.
Our business guests are within walking distance of Bournemouth International Centre for conferences and exhibitions, and we deliver fantastic lunch and afternoon tea stops for tour groups.
When youre not out and about, theres plenty to keep you occupied in the hotel itself. Our outdoor pool is surrounded by sun loungers and palm trees, giving it a distinctly tropical feel, and you can enjoy a sizzling summer feast from our pizza ovens and barbecues. Indoors, theres a gym, heated swimming pool and sauna.
Many of our 83 guest rooms have views across the bay, and some also feature a private balcony for gazing out to sea. We have spacious family rooms and luxury suites for those who really want to push the boat out. Alternatively, you can make yourself at home in one of self-catering apartments with private patios.

Really nice hotel but it needs a refurbishment. Located at the seaside, good service and good amenities. Room carpet was not really clean.

房間乾淨 浴室比較大 前台人員友好 房間沒有海景 但是靠海很近 附近有好吃的韓料店 游泳池開放在九點到五點好像 住一晚感覺根本沒時間游泳……中規中矩水平 800不含早餐還是貴了一點了

The beach is right in front of you and the view is great.
The staff are also very friendly.
There are outdoor and indoor pools (the indoor one is heated) and you can get drinks at the bar.
If you don't ask for your room to be cleaned and just use your towels etc, you will receive a drink voucher.
We had a relaxing time.

Booked as a last minute, lovely hotel.. Reception staff could not of been more helpful. We got upgraded to a sea view, and the room was spacious & lovely. .. there’s a lovely grandness to the hotel , so I felt sad that the smallest of Maintenon job that I noticed let it down, for example , the conference room opposite the reception curtain we’re hanging off it’s rail. So simple to rectify I’m sure.
Bar drinks, VERY overly priced .
Didn’t use the Spa as closed at 6pm .
I would return to this hotel., as stated the reception ladies were smiley, & helpful.

Once again we had a fantastic 2 week holiday at the Carlton, our 26th year of visiting this lovely hotel. The staff on reception, including Josephina, Noelia and Sue were outstanding, always ready to help with any queries to our full satisfaction. The room was perfect. Lovely sea view with large balcony which we made use of with the great weather we had. Breakfast was a hot and cold buffet, all very tasty and Nicky had the layout in the restaurant well planned after trying to improve how the buffet was presented. Nicky and her staff kept everything running smoothly. A special mention to Ben who always went the extra mile to provide a good service. Evening meal was also of a very good standard and all the staff worked so hard even though sometimes they were a little short staffed. Credit to all of them. We noticed the hotel itself is slowly getting a makeover which is nice to see. Management had clearly been working hard at this. Lastly the pool area is a great asset to the hotel and is well looked after by Raven and her staff, well done to them. Once more a very enjoyable stay and see you all next year for our 27th visit.
