Click for travel directionsThe Salthouse Harbour Hotel is a property of many quirks, with stylish designs and cool features throughout. It takes up a position on the edge of the water in the centre of Ipswich and was once a warehouse that has since been refurbished. Now the hotel offers something of an arty and interesting place in which to stay thanks to its unique facets and concentration on contemporary elegance. In 2009 the Salthouse Harbour Hotel was named among the top five best stays of the year in the Mystery Guest Awards. Further, like its sister property – the Angel Hotel in Bury – it boasts a double-AA-rosette restaurant and so guests can expect a top quality setting with tasty food during their visit.

Overlooking the Ipswich waterfront, the Salthouse Harbour Hotel is positioned on the edge of the town’s city centre. Located amid Constable country, there are many idyllic towns in the region, with the likes of Lavenham, Bury and various villages dotted along the seafront. Visit the likes of Woodbridge with its tide mill, Southwold on the coast, Newmarket with its horse racing and Colchester Zoo to the south-west. For those travelling to the region by train there is a station just to the west of the hotel on the other side of the river. Meanwhile, for those heading to the area by car the major road links are the A12 and the A14.

In all, there are 70 bedrooms at the Salthouse Harbour Hotel in Ipswich, a figure that incorporates standard rooms, sail loft rooms, sail loft marina rooms and penthouse suites. Some of the rooms boast excellent views of the waterfront, while each is home to arty designs and quirky features. The eaterie at the four-star Ipswich hotel serves modern dishes which are Mediterranean in origin. The food has been awarded two AA rosettes and can be enjoyed outside during the warmer parts of the year should you wish.
