The Queens Hotel Portsmouth

About

The Queens Hotel sits on the edge of Southsea Common just a few minutes’ walk from the beach. Within walking distance is the D-Day Museum and Historic Dockyard, home to the Royal Navy and attractions such as HMS Warrior, HMS Victory and The Mary Rose.

At the Queens Hotel, you will find newly refurbished rooms, many with spectacular panoramic views over The Solent. Our rooms are striking, full of personality and with an air of elegance. Comfort is our number one priority with big comfy beds and gorgeous bathrooms, helping to make your stay truly memorable. Originally built in 1861 by Augustus Livesay, Southsea House was first constructed as a large private home for Sir John and Lady Morris. The house was situated in an almost identical position to the front half of the existing hotel, but was at that time surrounded by woodland - stone woods - and the Royal Albert Yacht Club. In the latter part of the 19" century, around 1865, during a boom in construction and tourism in Southsea, the house was converted into a hotel by William Kemp Junior. The Queens became one of the first hotels in Portsmouth.

The current owners took over in April 2017 and commenced a painstaking, mutti-million pound restoration and redevelopment of the hotel to return her to her former glory. Original features have been uncovered and the lobby, bars and restaurants offer the perfect meeting space for gatherings large and small.
