Occupying an iconic location at the top of Robin Hood’s Bay, on the Heritage Coast of the North York Moors, the Hotel Victoria has officially reopened following a six month refurbishment which has included the redesign of the hotel and its unique dining and entertainment spaces.
The now 23-bedroom hotel offers guests a range of elegantly decorated bedrooms, many with views of the spectacular coastline, family-friendly and dog-friendly rooms options, as well as a newly created, DDA compliant accessible suite. The expansion of the hotel is set to continue, with a further seven refurbished bedrooms which will be available to guests by the end of 2024.
Significant investment has also been made in the hotel’s dining and entertainment spaces which are open to visitors and local residents as well as hotel guests. The newly named Osborne’s Restaurant & Lounge Bar offers an extensive menu of British and Mediterranean seasonally inspired cuisine, afternoon tea, Sunday lunches and a wide selection of fine wines, local ales, and expertly crafted cocktails, including the signature cocktail ‘Smugglers Ruin’.
The re-named Loxley Pub has been carefully renovated to offer a quintessential, cosy ‘Yorkshire pub’ experience, whilst the large garden and terrace area has a newly added Garden Bar, so visitors can enjoy a relaxing drink whilst taking in the panoramic sea views.
The hotel also offers bespoke packages for weddings and celebrations, with the opportunity to hire its bedrooms, entertainment and dining spaces.
Originally built in 1897, the Hotel Victoria is steeped in historic charm, having famously featured in the Oscar-winning period movie, Phantom Thread, starring Sir Daniel Day Lewis. Having been acquired in November 2023, the hotel is now part of the expanding Loxley Kollektion hotel portfolio, owned by businessman Andrew Long, which includes Der Weiße Hirsch and The Judge’s Lodgings in Lincoln and Polurrian auf der Echse in Cornwall.
Speaking of the reopening, Andrew Long, Owner of Hotel Victoria said: “Since acquiring the Hotel Victoria, we have undertaken a sensitive refurbishment programme, and we are delighted with how our vision of showcasing the hotel’s elegance and style whilst retaining its iconic historic charm, has come to life.
We are confident that the renovation of the hotel will be very well received by guests, visitors and the residents of Robin Hood’s Bay. We are really looking forward to welcoming our guests, past and new to experience the refurbished bedrooms, dining and entertainment spaces first-hand.”
Sitting at the eastern end of the 190-mile Coast to Coast Path, the hotel offers the ideal base from which to explore the region’s renowned coastal locations such as Whitby, Scarborough and Staithes, as well as the treasures of the North York Moors National Park.
