“Set on a cliff overlooking the beach, this impressive hotel oozes classic charm. Spacious rooms feature plush leafy prints and bright artwork; some with terraces and sea views. There's a cinema, restaurant and bar, plus a chic poolside with cabanas, firepits and sea views. A stylish seaside stay. ”

The Nici, Bournemouth, Dorset, England
The Nici has a prime location, set a 10-minute walk west of Bournemouth's town centre and just a short stroll down a zig-zag path to the sandy beach. Wander east along the promenade below the hotel and you'll find yourself at the Victorian pleasure pier with its arcades and zipline, or head west and you'll enjoy much quieter stretches of beach between the groynes.

The Nici Bournemouth hotel
Bournemouth’s hotels were more zimmer than zing until this boutique beauty burst on to the scene in the summer of 2022. It brings addictive, Miami-inspired energy to the West Cliff seafront, thanks to perky art deco, palm-printed decor in ice-cream sundae shades. Last year, it added a spa and cool indoor pool to the mix, ideal for when the weather prevents you lounging in a cabana by its Insta-catnip, 30-metre outdoor pool. The Nici’s 88 rooms are as personality packed as the public spaces, while a new poolside restaurant, opening this year, will ensure summer dining is also Miami nice.
