    A grand old dame on the seafront, this hotel has been around a while but still manages to exude a charm from better days. In its heyday, important Victorians would have stayed here, and descended the very impressive Grade II listed marble...

    The charm of the Royal Victoria lies in the faded glamour of a time gone by matched by great, unpretentious service.

    Brilliantly situated - hearing back to another era - and astonishingly still open despite all the odds against independently-owned large hotels.
