Cumberland Hotel - Oceana Collection in Bournemouth - Premium Stays

The Cumberland Hotel sits on Eastcliff seafront overlooking Bournemouth Bay, a 4-star Art Deco building that holds the Bournemouth Tourism Awards' Best Large Hotel 2018 title. The seasonal outdoor heated pool faces the bay, with sun loungers, sun umbrellas, a pool bar, and a shallow end for children. Private hospitality boxes on the lido deck provide unobstructed bay views, and the hotel's exterior and common areas retain their original 1930s Art Deco character.

The Cumberland Hotel has 160 guest rooms, including Compact Double Rooms, family rooms, Ocean Front Family Rooms of 4, and the Presidential Suite. Select rooms have panoramic sea views across Bournemouth Bay, and some include balconies. All rooms are serviced daily, and 24-hour room service is available.

The hotel operates two restaurants and a bar and brasserie; the Ventana Grand Café holds 2 AA Rosettes, and the bar and brasserie stays open until 22:00 in summer. A 3-course dinner can be booked with guests' reservation at a discounted advance rate. Guests can order breakfast in the room, pick from kids' meals, and use neighbouring Oceana resort amenities, which include 4 restaurants, 4 bars, and an illy coffee shop.

The hotel has a day spa and offers beauty services including manicures, pedicures, waxing, body treatments, and facial treatments. Spa and wellness packages are available, and guests have full access to the Oceana Day Spa at the Ocean Beach Hotel, an Asian-inspired treatment and beauty spa. The nearby Suncliff hotel has a heated indoor pool, sauna, mini gym, and squash courts; neighbouring Oceana resorts also have outdoor swimming pools; and the Cumberland's own seasonal outdoor pool is open in summer.

The hotel is a short walk from Bournemouth town centre, Bournemouth International Centre, Pavilion Gardens, and Bournemouth Surf Reef. Bournemouth Beach, Bournemouth Pier, Eastcliff Beach, and Westcliff Beach are within walking distance, and Boscombe Chine Gardens is nearby.
