Bannatyne Hotel Hastings

About Bannatyne Hotel Hastings

The Bannatyne Hotel Hastings occupies a country house set in 38 acres of formal gardens and woodland in the 1066 Country countryside between Hastings and Battle, giving it a spaciousness that the town's in-centre hotels can't match. The building sits within the wider Bannatyne health club estate, and hotel guests get access to the full leisure facilities alongside their room.

Those facilities are the main reason to choose it over a seafront hotel: a swimming pool with sauna, steam room and spa pool, a full gym with interactive equipment, and a spa offering Elemis treatments and outdoor hot tubs. Maxine's Bar & Restaurant looks out over the formal gardens, and the estate also runs to function rooms used for weddings and events for up to 300 guests.

It suits visitors treating Hastings as one stop on a wider Sussex trip, or anyone who wants a pool and spa as part of the stay rather than a walk to the beach; the Old Town and seafront are a short drive rather than a stroll away, and the hotel is dog-friendly, with free swimming for under-16s and free stays for under-3s.
