About Crown Spa Hotel
The Crown Spa has stood on Scarborough's South Cliff since the 1840s, and it remains one of the town's grandest addresses, built into the terrace above South Bay with sea views from many of its rooms. The building's Victorian bones have been kept largely intact while the interior has been steadily updated, giving guests a hotel that still feels like a proper seaside institution rather than a chain refit.
The spa is the main draw beyond the location: a 40ft indoor pool, gym and treatment rooms sit alongside the more traditional hotel amenities, and the hotel positions itself firmly as a spa break destination rather than just a place to sleep. Taste, the in-house restaurant, serves European-leaning menus in a dining room that shares the same sea views as the best bedrooms.
It suits couples on a spa break, and anyone wanting a full-service hotel stay within easy walking distance of the Spa complex, the cliff tramway down to South Bay, and the old town beyond the harbour.
