Description

Description

Established in 1892 at the heart of Cornwall’s vibrant Newquay, The Atlantic Hotel stands as an iconic fusion of magical history and contemporary luxury. Through its marbled entrance, once graced by the presence of Queen Victoria and The Beatles, the hotel warmly welcomes guests into a timeless embrace of grace and prestige.

The Atlantic Hotel has been in the same family ownership since 1986 and enjoys a superb reputation as well as a four-star AA rating. The hotel has benefitted from considerable improvements under the current ownership, including an extension to the bedroom accommodation and leisure facilities, and as a consequence is presented in superb order throughout.

The dining and events space is vast, with capacity for around 1200 guests across its six public spaces. The 57 letting bedrooms, suites and additional apartments all enjoy superb panoramic views of the Cornish coastline and offer guests a range of high quality accommodation. The on-site spa and leisure facilities are comprehensive, offering guests and non-residents an array of ways to relax. The business is well established but offers new owners an array of ways to grow the business which include repurposing parts of the main hotel building into more letting bedrooms or by converting the large poolside owner's apartment (subject to gaining any necessary consents).

Location

The Atlantic Hotel in Newquay enjoys a commanding position on a dramatic clifftop, offering sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and the rugged Cornish coastline.

The hotel sits between the bustling town centre and the iconic Fistral Beach, making it an ideal spot for both relaxation and adventure. The hotel’s elevated setting means guests can enjoy uninterrupted vistas from all of its rooms and public spaces while still being just a short stroll from Newquay’s shops, restaurants, and nightlife.

The Atlantic Hotel is easily accessible, with Newquay Station and Cornwall Airport both within reach. Its clifftop position and proximity to coastal paths make it a perfect base for exploring the natural beauty of the area, from beach walks to surf sessions.
