Who we are…
At Harbour Hotels, we create places people escape to—and remember long after they’ve left. Our collection of coastal, country and city hotels is built on individuality, style, and a genuine passion for hospitality.
At Rothay Garden, that experience is shaped by the beauty of the Lake District. Surrounded by fells, rivers and gardens, our hotel offers guests a relaxed yet refined setting—where great food, thoughtful service and a warm atmosphere come together effortlessly.
As a group, we believe in doing things properly: supporting our people, encouraging personality, and giving our teams the space to grow and make their mark. Recognised as AA Hotel Group of the Year, we’re proud of what we’ve built—and even more excited about what’s next.
