About

Due to Government Guidelines some hotel services may not be available/limited during your visit. Set on a clifftop overlooking the beach, the distinctive whitewashed Bournemouth East Cliff Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western is perfect for a traditional seaside family holiday or couples’ break. Take in the lovely seafront views as you sit out on the pretty terrace with a drink or throw open the French doors if you choose a room with a balcony. Bournemouth town centre is 10 minutes' walk away, and we’re close to a host of attractions. Play the slot machines on Bournemouth Pier, discover a mysterious undersea world at the Oceanarium or catch a performance at the Pavilion Theatre. After a busy day, fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow in one of our 67 comfortable bedrooms, all tastefully decorated with coastal-themed artworks and photography. Many have sea views and there are family rooms with extra beds to accommodate up to three children. If you’re in Bournemouth on business, you’ll appreciate the free superfast Wi-Fi and large workspace in every room. Please note that the hotel does not have a restaurant. Guests are welcome to make full use of the adjacent Carlton hotel restaurant directly next door to us. Please book your table at reception upon check in. After working up an appetite on a bracing stroll along the seafront, grab a bite to eat in our lounge bar. If you’re worried you’ve overindulged, you’re welcome to work off some of your holiday excesses in the health club and swimming pools at our nearby sister hotel the Carlton, BW Signature Collection by Best Western. Feel refreshed and revitalized after a beach holiday at the Bournemouth East Cliff Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western.
