The Kings
New 2008 Renovation - Boutique Hotel and Restaurant
Following a complete refurbishment, this landmark hotel will re-open this summer.
The hotel's idyllic location, opposite the quintessential King's Arms bowling green, overlooks the River Avon and historic sites of the ruins of Christchurch Castle and the Constable's House, and the Priory Church.
Originally built in 1801 on the site of a 17th Century coaching inn, this "room only" boutique hotel, located next to Christchurch High Street, has state of the art facilities including 16 luxury bedrooms, all en-suite with flat screen TV's, DVD players and wireless network.
The hotel offers a complimentary Pastry Basket breakfast with tea or coffee serviced in your room.
We are not able to offer an alternative breakfast, served in the restaurant.
Kings Rhodes
Michelin Starred Chef Gary Rhodes is to open an exciting new restaurant in the centre of Christchurch in August 2008
King’s Rhodes will dramatically rejuvenate the town’s former King’s Arms Hotel' and the 100-cover bar and brassiere will offer the very best in contemporary High Street eating.
We recommend that you make a reservation for Lunch or Dinner, prior to your arrival at the hotel.
