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.

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.
