Ship Hotel

Cool and savvy boutique hotels like this are becoming increasingly with the holidaying British public; and not without good reason. The Ship Hotel on North Street rejects the run-of-the-mill with much the same enthusiasm as stomachs reject sour milk. Located just around the corner from Chichester Festival Theatre with views across Priory Park offers top of the range bed & breakfast accommodation with a classic Regency bent. From the moment you see the lavish curling balustrade and the shower of chandeliers that come flopping from the ceiling in the hall, you’ll be seduced by its soft, uncommon majesty.

The Grade 2 listed building marries a wealth of original Georgian features with a bold and audacious 21st Century spirit. The 36 en suite guest rooms are decorated to a very high standard and reflect the dramatic past of the nearby Festival Theatre.

The AA awarded the onsite Murrays restaurant a much deserved rosette, whilst more private dining is offered in the Priory dining room. The Captain’s Bar is open from early morning and serves last orders to residents just 15 minutes short of midnight. If you wish to do Chicheter in style, then do it at the Ship Hotel.
