The Norfolk Royal Hotel has a natural gracefulness and charm that captures at first sight and forever. Her restored Edwardian grandeur is both welcoming and inviting.
A haven of warmth and sophistication, bordered by fragrant and attractive gardens set in the very heart of Bournemouth - the most radiant town on the South Coast. Always remembered - a friendly style of service that will ensure your stay will be relished and recalled with fondness. Breakfast and lunch are a pleasure in the light and airy conservatory style of the Echoes Restaurant; transformed by candlelight at nightfall to create a warm and intimate atmosphere. Gleaming silver, sparkling glass and fine china complement the attentive yet unobtrusive service of good food and fine wines. The carefully chosen menus and extensive wine list ensures your meal is a memorable dining experience. The contrasting moods of the gardens, patio, lounge and Club bar (all with full waiter service) provide ideal settings to relax and enjoy morning coffee, a cocktail before lunch and liqueurs after dinner in the company of friends and family or business colleagues. Interior styling and decoration of all 95 bedrooms, lavishly filled with the finest fabrics and furnishings, is in total harmony with the luxurious Edwardian style of an age gone by, yet offering every modern facility the most discerning guest would appreciate. Some are set aside for non-smokers, others with the lady traveller in mind and some are suitably equipped for the disabled. The suites are perfect when extra space is all important, often to accommodate our younger visitors and the two studios provide the ultimate setting for a romantic or celebration weekend with spa baths and sumptuous furnishings.

For the more energetic, the glass domed leisure pool and jaccuzi, steam room and sauna will provide an invigorating experience.
