Hotel Services

Price lists for room rates and additional items, such as room service, are available upon request from reception. The hotel reasonably considers that the guest is under the influence of drink or drugs, is unsuitably dressed or is behaving in a threatening, abusive or otherwise unacceptable manner.

“This adults-only boutique offers a serene escape in a historic Grade 2 listed building. Steps from Portsmouth's dockyard and Gunwharf Quays, its location is ideal for those seeking both history and modern amenities. On-site parking, a rarity in this area, simplifies arrivals, and the quiet, grown-up atmosphere is a welcome change.”
