Royal Hotel Whitby

About Royal Hotel Whitby

The Royal Hotel occupies one of the best positions in Whitby, standing on the West Cliff with views down over the harbour, the abbey ruins and the North Sea beyond. With 142 bedrooms across standard, superior and family categories, all ensuite, it is one of the town's largest hotels, part of the Fat Badger Group.

A restaurant serving à la carte, Sunday lunch and afternoon tea menus sits alongside a bar and lounge looking out to sea, and the hotel's own car park, with a handful of EV charging points, is a genuine advantage in a town where parking is otherwise scarce. The hotel also hosts weddings and events, giving it a busier, more sociable atmosphere than some of Whitby's smaller guest houses.

Its clifftop position puts the West Cliff's amusements, the whalebone arch and Captain Cook's statue on the doorstep, with the walk down to the harbour and old town taking around ten minutes. It suits visitors wanting a traditional seaside hotel experience with sea views as standard.
