About this place Fort Road Hotel

Fort Road Hotel is a small boutique hotel on Fort Road in Margate, a short walk from Turner Contemporary and the Old Town. It's a mainstream, gay-friendly hotel, not a gay venue. Rooms are renovated and design-led. The front rooms face the sea, some with window seats, and guests mention generous minibars, proper coffee and small extras like welcome biscuits. Margate's seafront, galleries, Dreamland and Old Town restaurants are all on foot from here, so you won't need a car. The hotel is small and books up for summer weekends and wedding parties, so reserve early if you want a sea-facing room.

The Fort Road Hotel is a super nice hotel, everything is stylish but also cosy. The rooms are comfortable and equipped with everything one might need when traveling. The restaurant of the hotel is really good and has a very relaxing atmosphere. And from the roof top you have an amazing view over Margate. I really hope to come back.

Two night stay. Everything was perfect. Favourite part was the attention to detail in the decor

A very good place to stay in Margate. Spacious rooms, a rooftop terrace, and above all, very friendly staff! The breakfast is plentiful, varied and waste-free, which is appreciated. They also prepared a nice picnic for us when we had to leave before breakfast time. A place to repeat

We stayed for a midweek break & had such a great experience. A really comfortable room with great views & a gorgeous bathroom. And great books & artwork. Loved the breakfast too.

We had such an amazing stay at this hotel. Big shout out to amazingly lovely Annie who made a mean Cherry sour negroni and who was nothing but helpful with the sunniest personality! The room was everything I wished for ringing in my big birthday! Great views and great amenities and comfort; breakfast was also delicious!! I hope I will be back soon. Thank you Fort Road Hotel 💙🙏🏻
