Since the completion of this haven of West Country luxury in 1903, The Victoria Hotel has welcomed guests with a unique blend of hospitality, comfort and style. Named in honour of Queen Victoria, who enjoyed many summers in her adjacent residence, the hotel provides every modern amenity whist epitomising, traditional values of personal and attentive service, fine cuisine and a sense of luxury that is beyond compare.

On arriving at the Victoria Hotel it is impossible not to recall the opulence and grandeur of another age, whilst feeling immediately at home. In the spacious and comfortably furnished lounge you will find an atmosphere of rest and relaxation.

Look out of the large bay windows across the hotel's beautifully landscaped gardens and you will discover spectacular views of Sidmouth's Esplanade Bay. The sun lounge provides an idyllic setting in which to take morning coffee, a traditional Devonshire cream tea or a fireside after-dinner liqueur.

Naturally, as such magnificent surroundings would suggest, you can expect prompt, attentive service from friendly, professional staff.

Whenever you visit the Victoria Hotel you can be sure of an unrivalled selection of first class cuisine.
