Set in tranquil gardens, 10 minutes’ walk from Sandown's seafront and the High Street, this fine Georgian building has a themed interior based on ocean travel and the RMS Aquitania.

Throughout the hotel, extensive use has been made of wood panelling and marquetry recovered from the RMS Aquitania, the last of the 4-funnel ocean liners.

Surrounded by its own immaculately kept gardens, the hotel is a wonderful, peaceful base from which to explore all that the Isle of Wight has to offer. Sandown's busy centre, the seafront promenade and the leisure centre are just a few minutes’ downhill walk away from the hotel’s entrance.

Free off-street parking is available within the hotel’s grounds and the hotel also offers a 25% discount on the cost of your ferry crossing to the Isle of Wight. Simply provide your booking reference number and the details of your car. The hotel will do the rest for you.

The hotel features an appealing restaurant, as well as the Aquitania Lounge Bar, with regular evening entertainment, separate comfortable lounge areas and a games room. There is an outdoor swimming pool, which is heated from May to September. The pool is located in a secluded rear garden, with lawns and a patio. The gardens create an idyllic surrounding for relaxing in the warm summer sun. The hotel also holds a civil ceremony licence for weddings, should the occasion arise.

All of the hotel’s 41 rooms are located on the ground floor or on the first floor. Every room is decorated to a very good standard and each room is well equipped, with all the modern comforts and facilities you need to enjoy a restful, relaxing holiday.

In the evenings, the hotel offers a full 4-course table d’hôte menu at a reasonable price. A bar snack menu is also available from 16:00 to 20:00. An impressive selection of wines, spirits and beers is available in the Aquitania@ Lounge Bar.

Completely devoted to visitors’ enjoyment, the Isle of Wight has plenty of holiday attractions and lots to see and do, all within a relatively small area. From Sandown, a circular drive around the island's coast can be accomplished in a day, but with so much to see, and with distances between sights and attractions being relatively short, it is easy to plan your own itinerary.
