About Sands Hotel Margate

Sands Hotel sits directly on Margate's seafront, facing the harbour arm and the town's main beach, making it one of the best-placed hotels for anyone wanting to walk straight onto the sand. The building has been remodelled into a smart, contemporary boutique hotel behind its period facade.

Bedrooms are decorated in a coastal palette with large windows, and many of the front-facing rooms look directly over the harbour and Turner Contemporary beyond. A rooftop restaurant and bar extends the sea views over dinner and drinks.

Its central position puts Dreamland, the Old Town and the station all within easy walking distance, making it a practical base for both couples and families visiting Margate for a few days.

Guests mention this hotel offers beautifully designed, comfortable rooms with great views and delicious breakfast options. They also highlight the friendly, helpful staff and the convenient location for exploring the area. Others appreciate the thoughtful amenities, including a basement bar and a roof terrace.
