About Us
A historic seafront hotel shaped by heritage, character and thoughtful modern hospitality.
A Historic Seafront Landmark
Standing proudly on Dover’s iconic seafront, Dover Marina Hotel & Spa has been part of the town’s story since the 19th century. With sweeping views across the English Channel and the White Cliffs of Dover as its backdrop, the hotel has welcomed guests from near and far for generations, blending timeless character with thoughtful modern design.
