Channel View Hotel - A cliff-top 3-star hotel with English Channel views, indoor pool, and locally sourced cuisine

Occupying an elevated position on Shanklin Bay's cliffs, Channel View Hotel offers panoramic views of the English Channel and proximity to sandy beaches like Small Hope Beach (0.5 km away). The AA-rated 3-star property features over 50 ensuite rooms, including Standard, Superior, and Classic categories, each with flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and welcome trays with beverages. Superior rooms include sea views through front-facing windows. Dining at Channel View Hotel focuses on British and continental dishes, with a daily changing menu prepared by a team led by Head Chef Peter Vogt, using locally sourced beef, lamb, and pork. Guests can unwind in the heated indoor pool, book aromatherapy massages, or visit the on-site solarium and sauna. The Alverstone Room hosts live music nights with a maple dance floor. The hotel is accessible via ramped entrances and a lift, though the main reception requires climbing 20 steps.
