4-star Art Deco seafront hotel with 2 pools and a spa on Bournemouth's Eastcliff

Rooms & Architecture

The Cumberland Hotel is a 4-star deluxe property built in a 1930s Art Deco style, overlooking Bournemouth Bay from its Eastcliff position. Select rooms offer panoramic sea views and balconies, with generous sizes noted by guests. The hotel's architectural character is a distinct feature, with public areas reflecting its original design heritage.

Dining

The hotel operates 2 restaurants, including Ventana Grand Café, which holds 2 AA Rosettes for its cuisine. A 3-course dinner is available at a discounted advance rate when booked with a reservation. The stylish bar and brasserie stays open until 22:00 in summer, and breakfast offers a buffet with both continental and full English options.

Pool & Wellness

Guests have access to 2 swimming pools: a seasonal outdoor heated pool with sun loungers and a pool bar, plus an indoor heated pool at the sister Suncliff hotel. The Oceana Day Spa at the Ocean Beach Hotel provides Asian-inspired treatment and beauty services, including facials, body treatments, and waxing. A sauna, mini gym, and squash courts are available at Suncliff, all included in the stay.

Location & Nearby Attractions

The hotel is on Eastcliff, a short walk from Bournemouth town centre, the BIC, Pavilion Gardens, and Surf Reef. Bournemouth Beach and Bournemouth Pier are within walking distance, with Eastcliff and Westcliff Beaches accessible directly from the hotel. A bus stop outside the hotel provides routes to Christchurch and Poole.

Family & Children

The hotel provides a child-friendly environment with special meal options for kids in the on-site restaurants. Families can use the outdoor heated pool and the indoor pool at the sister hotel. Additional amenities include access to table tennis, a terrace, and outdoor furniture.

Highlights

Architecture: 1930s Art Deco design overlooking Bournemouth Bay

Dining: Ventana Grand Café with 2 AA Rosettes

Pool: Seasonal outdoor heated pool with pool bar

Wellness: Oceana Day Spa with Asian-inspired treatments

Location: Eastcliff, short walk to beaches and town centre

Award: Best Large Hotel 2018 - Bournemouth Tourism Awards

“The Cumberland Hotel's Art Deco design stands out, as does its seasonal heated pool, rare for Bournemouth; inside, the Ventana Grand Café has earned accolades for its cuisine. I particularly like that it provides access to spa facilities at neighboring hotels, expanding wellness options considerably, and the family-friendly environment makes it an easy choice for those travelling with children. Its architecture and extra facilities make it a strong option.”

Fantastic Training Function

helpful staff professional staff excellent food
I hosted a training function here. The staff were helpful and professional. They ensured the day ran smoothly and were always on hand to help with anything we needed. The food was excellent and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone attending.
The hotel could use a slight refresh. Hallways are very dated and dark.

The hotel overlooks the sea. This location is perfect wanting easy access to coastal views and perhaps (if you're lucky) even enjoy a sea view room.
Facilities

There is a heated outdoor swimming pool. Guests also have access to pools in two neighboring hotels. might find sharing facilities a drawback because it can limit pool space.
