About the Hotel

18 Castle Street, Christchurch (Dorset), United Kingdom, BH23 1DT

The Kings Arms, a 4-star Georgian boutique hotel, faces out onto a postcard-perfect setting with the River Avon, a lawn bowling green, and Norman-era ruins. This character-filled treasure in Christchurch town center features three unique event spaces, including the newly-refurbished Kings Priory with views over atmospheric castle ruins.

The smallest rooms on the top floor of the hotel showcase original wooden beams and sloping ceilings, while spacious doubles and quadruple rooms include flat-screen TVs, wardrobes, safe deposit boxes, and complimentary chocolate.
