The Royal Hotel is one of the Isle of Wight's Best Kept Secrets – a refined and elegant historic jewel and a destination for the discerning traveller for more than 150 years. This is the island's leading AA Four Star hotel.
Built in 1832, The Royal is one of the oldest hotels on the island and shares the rare privilege of being one of only 30 hotels to be listed in every Michelin Guide since it was first published in 1911.
Unashamedly old-fashioned, The Royal evokes a sense of a bygone era. Grand yet intimate, this beautiful early Victorian hotel has 53 bedrooms and is set in sub tropical gardens in the seaside town of Ventnor, on the island's south coast.
Come for the award-winning local food cooked with flair, passion and artistry; warm, attentive service and a beguiling, sought after location – only minutes from inspiring cliff top walks and areas of outstanding natural beauty (AONB) and heritage coast.
The food is fabulous and cake o'clock on the beautiful geranium terrace is an absolute must.' Julia Brookes, The Times
