Be beside the seaside at the most perfect hotel in Bournemouth

Best Western's Connaught Hotel and Spa, formerly a gentleman's residence, was constructed around 1850 and of all the hotels it is considered to be the premier AA 3 Star (82%) and rosette hotel in Bournemouth. Located in Bournemouth on the West Cliff with free parking for 66 cars, this Green Hotel is very close to the BIC, town centre, Pavilion, Aquarium, Bournemouth Pier and beach - all within 5 minutes' walk. Nearby is Boscombe Surf Reef, Bournemouth University, Bournemouth International Airport, Poole Harbour, Christchurch, also with its own harbour and, of course, the New Forest, the home and burial place of Alice Liddell who lived in Lyndhurst and was the inspiration for Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.

"Highly Commended" awards were granted by Bournemouth Tourism in 2009 in the "Best Large Hotel in Bournemouth" and "Best Restaurant in Bournemouth" categories. The Connaught is the first and only hotel of all the Hotels in Bournemouth to be awarded a Silver Shield by Green Tourism for Business for its commitment to the Environment and Best Western itself, conferred "Connoisseur" status on the hotel in 2008.
