Refreshed, revitalised and revived…
Back in the day, a trailblazing boutique hotel for Bournemouth, the Orchid has now completed a dramatic transformation, with bedrooms refurbished; lounges, function rooms and public areas reimagined; the whole hotel re-born. More than a mere makeover, it’s an evolutionary change for the Orchid, setting it apart as the only hotel of its kind in Bournemouth – offering a unique blend of contemporary comfort, informal elegance and intimate charm.
With 31 en-suite bedrooms complete with air conditioning, tea/coffee making facilities and Nespresso machines, The Orchid Hotel is perfect for residential meetings, corporate incentives, overnight stays, weddings, events, summer BBQ's and much more.
The 2 newly redesigned function rooms (one of which has a private bar and leads into our pretty Courtyard) can seat upto 96 people for dinner or 100 people for a presentation. Both air conditioned and with complimentary WI Fi and a dedicated event manager, there really is nowhere better to go in Bournemouth for your next event.

Recently refurbished this light and airy room leads out directly to our Courtyard and has it's own bar in the room. Also with wooden floors it is the perfect space for meetings, events, baby showers, parties and wedding ceremonies.

    Stylish & Beautiful We had a great day at The Orchid Hotel for our wedding reception. The food was amazing, the service was fantastic, and the location is beautiful. Would definitely recommend The Orchid Hotel to any brides out there looking for a boutique venue. Helen and the team were brilliant!

    The most wonderful day of my life The staff at The Orchid were amazing from start to finish. In the build up to the day we were completely supported with meetings, phone calls and emails and all our requests were listened to. A wedding can be stressful but the entire staff made us feel like we were the most important. On the actual day they kept us calm (nice gin and tonic sent to the bride whilst he ready) and all our guests felt very welcomed.

Comfortable beds, great decor and breakfast spot on. Location is excellent central to Bournemouth can’t really go wrong. Lots of parking and 24 hour security. Family friendly atmosphere five stars from Minz!

    I recently stayed at this hotel in a family room which was lovely and clean! The beds were very comfortable and room was spacious. Perfect location, few minutes walking distance to the beach. The staff are extremely helpful and polite with good customer service! I had left my sunglasses in the room and didn't realise when I went home. I'm not from Bournemouth and live over 3 hours away but I contacted the hotel and Jeanna was very helpful and told me the house keeping found my sunglasses and she kept them safe. She posted them out to me and I received them after a few days. I am grateful and happy how Jeanna dealt with this situation.

    Charming hotel on the smaller side. It's no Marriott but don't let that put you off. The location is a short walk from Bournemouth Pier, the hill is steep so maybe not ideal for everybody. The rooms are pleasant and adequate and provide all you need for a few nights away from home. The staff are friendly and helpful and the parking is adequate.

    Hopefully we wont get married again- but if we do..... As with all sensible grooms, I let the bride have maximal control and governance over the choice of venue. And im really glad I did, as the Orchid was AMAZING! Helen and all the staff did everything they could to help us feel at ease from the off. All the planning was made simple for us, and some of our special requirements were met with minimal fuss or hassle. Our families and guests all loved the decor and even though the weather was terrible (we mean really, really bad) all day it was still the perfect venue as everyone mingled indoors. We cant thank everyone there enough and have got lots of happy memories of our special day :-)

    A Perfect Wedding Day Thank you to Helen and team for our perfect wedding day. All our requests were listened to and executed with professionalism. We naturally made changes along the way and it was with ease that these were implemented. A lovely boutique hotel and wonderful ambience. Friendly and professional staff and Helen was always calm and reassuring. The food, wine and service was exceptional and a choice of rooms to suit your specific needs. We were also fortunate to be able to enjoy the outside patio area through to the evening. The Orchid Hotel was recommended to us and we recommend it to you.

    Amazing Wedding Day I had the pleasure of having my wedding and reception at The Orchid Hotel, I have to say everything was perfect! Helen, George and all of the other staff did a great job in ensuring the day went smoothly from start to finish. Everything from the presentation of the lovely Paloma Suite and Aurelia Suite to the food served during the wedding breakfast was brilliant. Attention to detail was on point and everything went seamlessly thanks to everyone working on that day. The wedding breakfast, canapes and evening buffet were all lovely. We had a fantastic day and the staff were great. All of the rooms we reserved for wedding guests were very well presented and clean. The Master Room was lovely and very comfortable. The feedback from our family was stunning and we all loved this venue. This hotel is a perfect place to host a wedding celebration. We have made some wonderful memories from the day and we certainly could not be happier. We would happily relive the day over and over again. We look forward to returning to the hotel and restaurant, we would definitely recommend. Thank you!!
