Cumberland Hotel - Oceana Collection - A 4-star Art Deco hotel with ocean views, spa access, and an outdoor pool

Cumberland Hotel - Oceana Collection, a 4-star property on Bournemouth's East Overcliff, features a 1930s Art Deco design with monochromatic interiors and ocean-facing rooms on the first floor, some with balconies offering views of Bournemouth Bay. Guests can dine at the 2-AA rosette Ventana Grand Café, serving modern British classics and seasonal dishes, or enjoy afternoon tea. The hotel includes a seasonal outdoor heated pool and lido deck, while spa treatments are available at the adjacent Oceana Day Spa in the Ocean Beach Hotel. Business amenities include flexible meeting spaces, high-speed Wi-Fi, and work desks in rooms. The property is 2 km from Bournemouth Central and within walking distance of landmarks like Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum (0.5 km) and Bournemouth International Centre (2 km).

Pros

The room showed some signs of wear I really did not expect. Water stains marked one wall and the headboard wasn't clean either. The parking situation was quite difficult I ended up paying extra to park on the street.
