Spitbank Fort Sea Hotel

Much, much more than just a hotel, if you want something truly different, luxurious, special and unforgettable, go to Spitbank Fort Sea Hotel which is a historic hotel built on an abandoned sea fort in the English Channel. Spitbank Fort is one of three forts built off the Victorian Coast of Southampton and Portsmouth in the 1700s, constructed to defend against naval attack from the French. Recently, Hotelier Mike Clare purchased and renovated the old fort into a luxury boutique hotel catering to those who could use a private escape from life’s business elsewhere.
