About the Hotels
Georgian Elegance on the South Coast
Hotel du Vin Poole
A former Mansion House, this elegant Georgian hotel in Poole’s Old Town features 38 beautifully styled bedrooms and suites, boasting an enviable location near the quay and offering stunning views of Poole Harbour and the rolling Purbeck Hills in the distance. The hotel has a lovely sun terrace for summer dining and events, and our welcoming Bistro du Vin, serves classical French dishes with a modern twist all year round.
Hotel du Vin Winchester
Our quintessential boutique hotel nestled in the heart of the city was the very first in the Hotel du Vin family, This charming Georgian building with 24 bedrooms and suites is just moments away from the awe-inspiring Winchester Cathedral. Like Hotel du Vin Poole, the ever popular and established Bistro du Vin continues to delight guests with classic French dishes and long standing reputation for excellent service. It also hides away a surprisingly large ‘secret’ terrace perfect for wedding parties and celebrations.
