Founded in 1832, the Royal is one of the oldest hotels on the Isle of Wight, and still one if its finest. Originally built as a coaching inn called Fishers Hotel, it became known as The Royal Hotel after enjoying Queen Victoria's patronage.
CHARLES DICKENS DESCRIBED VENTNOR AS “THE PRETTIEST PLACE I EVER SAW IN MY LIFE”
Once world-famous as a spa resort, Ventnor still makes a wonderfully therapeutic destination, thanks to its uplifting natural landscape, clean seawater and balmy coastal air.
Our hotel restaurant, with its AA-rosette status and elegance, offers a superb dining experience. The menus are seasonal and our chefs make the very best use of local produce to provide you with a real taste of Isle of Wight. Whether this is your first time on the Island, or your fiftieth, we hope you will enjoy your stay and an introduction to some of the Isle of Wight’s fantastic food producers. Together with our creative kitchen team, we look forward to offering you a truly memorable holiday!

This 4-star hotel offers luxurious accommodation overlooking Ventnor Bay on the Isle of Wight. It serves award-winning food in its conservatory eating area, and an outdoor swimming pool.

Each room at The Royal has a flat-screen TV and tea and coffee-making facilities. Guests can make use of free WiFi in all areas, and there is space for free private parking on site.

The subtropical gardens are ideal for relaxing in, and there are picturesque cliff-top walks around the surrounding coastline.

The sandy Heritage beaches are just a few minutes’ walk from the hotel, and guests can also explore the Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty that surround the building.
