Centrally located on Bournemouth's West Cliff, the 4-star Connaught Lodge is just 350 yards from the cliff top and 5 minutes' walk from the BIC, Pavilion, and the thriving town centre. Just a short stroll across the garden terrace, guests can enjoy full access to facilities at the lodge's sister hotel, Best Western Plus The Connaught Hotel and Spa. Guests staying at Connaught Lodge can enjoy free membership for Best Western Plus The Connaught Hotel’s Bluewater Spa, which features a 20 yard swimming pool and adjoining spa pool, gym, sauna, steam room, 4 deluxe beauty and massage therapy suites and a relaxation lounge. Also situated in the sister hotel are the Gin Bar, serving over 100 different gins and the award-winning AA Rosette Connaught Brasserie which uses fresh, local produce wherever possible.
