Welcomed by the charming Gemma, we explored the vast wedding facilities the hotel offers. Whether it’s an indoor ceremony or an alfresco exchange of vows in a beautifully decorated gazebo against the backdrop of the sea and pier, the venue promises enchantment. Unique fishermen’s cottages add to the charm and are available for hire.

The hotel boasts a grand ballroom, intimate function rooms, and an exclusive annexe with quaint rooms named after towns in Dorset, complete with its own bar and dance floor for private celebrations. A variety of wedding packages are available, with dedicated advisers ensuring your day is nothing short of perfect.

Culinary Delights at Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

Our dining experience at Brasserie Blanc was a highlight, offering a warm atmosphere elegantly decorated with verdant wallpaper and chic furniture, all centred around a welcoming fireplace. The view of the pier and the sea added a magical touch to our dining experience.

We indulged in a delectable meal, starting with a cocktail, followed by baked chestnut mushrooms, ‘poulet roti’ seasoned with rosemary and thyme, and a perfectly caramelized crème brulee, rounding off the evening before retiring to our suite.

A Suite with a View at Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

Our family suite was a spacious haven with thoughtful touches of local culture, including Dorset fudge and books by local authors. The decor, inspired by the nearby pier and the sea, along with retro artwork, added a nostalgic seaside charm. The sunrise view over the sea was a breathtaking spectacle we did not miss.

Breakfast at Brasserie Blanc was another joy, with hours spent savouring the sea views and delicious offerings reminiscent of a French Riviera escape.
