Why Concert-goers love it

Thanks to its prime location, you're never far from the action—whether you're catching a show at a nearby venue or exploring the nightlife at Gunwharf Quays, just a 5-minute walk away.

Food and Drink Options

Start your day (even if it's late) with a hearty full English breakfast, plus lighter options like cereal, fruit, and yogurt.

No 24/7 room service, but plenty of options nearby stay open late.

Nightlife Options

You’re within walking distance of Portsmouth’s best bars and lounges, including spots inside Gunwharf Quays where live music and DJ sets are common. Prefer something quieter? Take in the harbor views with a drink in hand at one of the nearby waterfront pubs.
