The Clarence Gardens Hotel has officially joined the BWH Hotels GB portfolio this week as part of our BW Signature Collection. Nestled on Blenheim Terrace in the heart of Scarborough, this charming boutique retreat brings timeless character, modern comfort, and breath-taking sea views to our growing family of properties.

With 26 beautifully appointed bedrooms, a welcoming restaurant and bar, and free private parking, The Clarence Gardens Hotel offers guests a    serene coastal escape just moments from Scarborough’s vibrant town centre, historic castle, and iconic beaches. Whether it’s a romantic weekend,   a family holiday, or a solo adventure, the hotel’s warm hospitality and unbeatable location make it a standout addition to our collection.

Scarborough is one of the UK’s most beloved seaside destinations—and for good reason. According to the latest STEAM Economic Evaluation, North Yorkshire welcomed over 31 million visitors in 2023, with more than 6.2 million overnight stays. The average visitor stays four days—well above the national average—highlighting the region’s strong appeal and potential for extended leisure travel.

A Strategic Fit for the Future

Mark Stanley, Head of Hotel Development & Member Services at BWH Hotels GB, shared his thoughts on this exciting addition:

“The Clarence Gardens Hotel is a fantastic strategic fit for BWH. Its prime location, boutique charm, and strong local identity align perfectly with our Signature Collection values. Scarborough is a destination on the rise, and this property gives us a strong foothold in a key leisure market. We’re thrilled to welcome the team and look forward to supporting their continued success.”

Please join us in giving a warm BWH welcome to the team at The Clarence Gardens Hotel.
