You will find this luxurious hotel with spa a haven of peace and quiet, a perfect place to forget the pressures of every day life and indulge in some rest and relaxation. The hotel provides a range of guest rooms including family rooms (some with bunk beds), four posters, suites and adapted rooms. Whichever room type you choose you'll find lots of thoughtful touches - like complimentary mineral water, fresh ground coffee and a great tea selection, free WiFi internet access and a complimentary newspaper. You'll receive complimentary membership of the Spa during your stay, giving you access to a range of spa facilities. Take a pulse-pumping workout using the the latest exercise equipment in the well-equipped gym or take part in one of the spa's many activity classes. If endorphin rushes aren’t for you, retreat to the whirlpool and steam room, take a relaxing swim in the 13m deck level swimming pool and supercharge your senses with a range of spa treatments. Solent Hotel use spa products for both men and women from the internationally acclaimed ESPA range - including natural oils, revitalising seaweeds and marine algae. Rejuvenate and renew with a therapeutic facial or cocoon yourself in a tranquil body wrap. Whatever the season, taste the very best of the Solent at the Terrace Restaurant Bar & Grill. With fabulous daily menus that showcase the region’s excellent produce, dine indoors or al fresco (during the summer months) for breakfast, lunch and evening dinner. For guests staying at the hotel for leisure breaks there is no shortage of places to visit. The New Forest, Beaulieu, Portsmouth's Naval heritage and the Isle of Wight are some of our favourites. For business guests, The Solent Hotel has 19 meeting rooms and is well-equipped to host your training course or sales conference - whatever the size.
