About

Built in the 1920s and completely renovated in 2003, Harbour Heights offers contemporary elegance with a classic Rhode Island twist. Fresh, stylish interiors, individually commissioned furnishings and artwork, and stunning views over Poole Harbour and Brownsea Island make this property truly unique. Considered one of the best of a new breed of luxury boutique hotels, we offer the popular Ocean Palace Chinese restaurant with an impressive, creative menu, as well as our Lounge Menu with a European selection and international wine list. The finest cuisine can be served on alfresco terraces with unrivaled views over the water. Guests can enjoy a drink in The View while listening to calming music, relaxing on the stylish furniture, and tasting a delicious selection of cocktails. The fashionable interior design continues through the corridors and into the bedrooms. All 38 luxurious rooms have a spa bath, and many directly overlook the harbor. For private functions, this hotel has it all: a superb suite with a spectacular private terrace offering catering facilities for barbecues, luncheons, or dinner parties. Alternatively, this suite can be used as a conference room, or for smaller groups, the lower suite may be preferred. Harbour Heights is a stunning modern hotel offering the highest standard of facilities, whether for a romantic break or for businesses seeking a secluded and inspirational venue where every aspect is designed with careful attention to detail.
