La Rosa Hotel
East Terrace, above Whitby harbour · B&B
An independent vintage boutique hotel on East Terrace, once Lewis Carroll's favourite Whitby lodgings, with individually themed rooms.
About La Rosa Hotel
La Rosa Hotel occupies a Georgian townhouse on East Terrace, a short walk from Whitby harbour, and trades on its history as a boarding house once favoured by Lewis Carroll during his Whitby visits. Each of its rooms is individually themed and decorated in a vintage, boutique style, avoiding the uniform look of a chain hotel in favour of something more personal and eccentric.
A cocktail bar and tea room operate on the ground floor, open to non-residents as well as guests, adding a social space that many small Whitby hotels lack. The hotel is dog-friendly throughout, a point of distinction on a coastline popular with walkers, and its position gives easy access to both the harbourside and the climb up towards the abbey.
La Rosa suits guests looking for individuality and character over uniform comfort, and its central East Terrace address means the harbour, old town shops and jet workshops are all within a short stroll.
