The Spotlight on The Clarence Boutique Rooms

Elegant Seaside Charm Close to the Action

Modern comfort meets Edwardian elegance at The Clarence Boutique Rooms, a stylish six-room hotel just a short stroll from Portsmouth’s scenic seafront. Each room is individually designed with luxurious bathrooms and boutique touches, giving you a peaceful, upscale retreat that’s still within easy reach of the city’s top attractions and concert spots.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music lovers appreciate the hotel’s unbeatable location—just minutes from Portsmouth’s buzzing nightlife, waterfront venues, and live music destinations. Despite its central setting, the hotel maintains a quiet and restful atmosphere, perfect for winding down after a show. Late arrivals are no problem with a 3:00 PM check-in, and the 11:00 AM check-out lets you sleep in the morning after. With both of Portsmouth’s main train stations just five minutes away by taxi, getting to and from gigs is hassle-free.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want to stay stylish without sacrificing convenience
  • Solo travelers ticking a dream concert off their list
  • Couples making a romantic weekend out of a gig
  • Fans who prefer a quieter, boutique stay after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music fans looking for upscale comfort in a compact package

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, guests have access to two excellent sister restaurants just minutes away: The Garden Restaurant and The Florence Arms Gastro Pub, both offering all-day dining. Whether you're grabbing a bite post-show or fueling up the next morning, these nearby spots have you covered. Breakfast is available, and the local neighborhood also features a variety of walkable eateries for late-night cravings.

Nightlife Options

You’re never far from the action here. The hotel’s location puts you close to Portsmouth’s top bars, pubs, and lounges—ideal for a pre-gig drink or a post-show nightcap. While there’s no on-site live music, the surrounding area is buzzing with nightlife including cozy pubs and cocktail bars offering local craft drinks.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the impeccable cleanliness, stylish decor, and the personal, boutique vibe. Many love the hotel’s peaceful ambiance despite being so close to the action, and the friendly service adds a warm, personal touch to every stay.

Areas for Improvement

With only six rooms, availability can be limited—so it’s smart to book early, especially around big concert dates. Also, while the boutique style adds charm, there’s no 24-hour front desk or on-site bar, so it’s best for travelers who don’t need round-the-clock amenities.

The Bottom Line

The Clarence Boutique Rooms is a perfect pick for concert-goers wanting an elegant and peaceful retreat near Portsmouth’s vibrant music and nightlife scene.

Lovely place for a short...

Liked: The room was well appointed and had everything we needed including Tea, Coffee and Water. TV on the wall with Freeview and a decent shower. There is a wardrobe too to hang your clothes and store your stuff. The apartments are well placed for the beach front and about a 30 minute walk into Portsmouth. Breakfast was excellent and definitely worth adding. You need to walk to the main hotel on Florence Road to have Breakfast which takes less than 5 minutes.
Disliked: The room was a bit small. The bathroom door didn't close properly or lock. Cleanliness could have been a bit better, my wife found a used Vape under the bed! The room was a bit warm as well, so in the height of summer, it would be very warm at night I'd have thought. Most staff we encountered were nice, but we thought one or two were a bit miserable.

Comfortable stay, close to local...

Liked: The staff were very friendly and helpfulRoom was clean and very nicely furnished.A few minutes walk to the town centre and its shops (pop in to One Legged Jockey, it's quite an experience!)Close to the seafront, Southsea Castle and the pier, you can watch the boats coming in and out, as well as the traffic back and forth to the Isle of Wight
Disliked: Hot water took ages to come through on the shower, around 15 minutes, I had to call a reception who sent someone round within a few minutes and fixed it quickly.

Beautiful hotel, very good food...

Liked: The rooms were very spacious, beautifully decorated and the bed was very comfortable
Disliked: Breakfast although excellent quality and delicious was very slow to be served the first day (45 minutes) however the second morning was quicker and in all fairness it is cooked fresh. Everything else was very good

A quiet stay near the...

Liked: I liked the decor of the rooms and how quiet it was. I also liked that it was very close to the beach.
Disliked: The directions to check in were not clear at all, the address was Main Reception, Florence road. I had no idea the hotel was part of The Mercer group, this would have saved a lot of stress and time.

Fantastic hotel rooms and restaurant.

Liked: Bath in the bedroom was amazing. The bed was comfortable. The hotel was quite. Friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast really is exceptional!
Disliked: The fact that the reception is not in the same building as the hotel, there is one reception for several buildings and this wasn't mentioned until the end of a long email that I didn't read. Not even a sign on the door to state the fact. They must get a lot of people banging on the door trying to get in like we did.
