The Times and Sunday Times has named THE NICI as the Best Seaside Hotel for 2023, within its annual and highly coveted 100 Best Places to Stay.

Claire Irvin, Head of Travel at The Times and The Sunday Times said of the list: “Best Places to Stay 2023 is a celebration of the incredible properties we have here on home soil and, most importantly, the hard-working teams that have made each one of them such a singular success.”

Awarded for its stunning location, vibrant décor and delicious food, Katie Bowman’s glowing review describes says of THE NICI: “Bournemouth isn’t so different to South Beach, Miami: they’re both kitsch, eccentric seaside towns with a sunny disposition and just a smidge of edginess. Thus, the Nici’s SoBe-enamoured owner Nicolas Roach makes the most of the similarities, in this case, a seafront position, where a historic building (the refurbed Savoy hotel of yore) sits on a vast lawned plot surrounded by tropical gardens.

There’s also a retro candy-striped pool, cabanas, fire pits and hammocks; glass balconies with sea views to the beach club and surf.”
