Riverside hotel and spa on the River Stour · Christchurch, Dorset

Vows in the riverside suites
A contemporary riverside hotel and spa in Christchurch where the wedding suites, the bedrooms and the restaurant all look over the River Stour.
Couples exchange vows in light-filled event suites, where floor-to-ceiling windows show the River Stour throughout the ceremony. The Port Suite is the smallest of the event spaces and is the choice for wedding ceremonies or more intimate receptions. It has floor-to-ceiling windows over the river and a bar of its own, so guests can go straight from the ceremony to a drink without leaving the room, and the rest of the day can stay close by.
Celebrations in Waterside, Starboard and Port
The three event suites are the Waterside Suite, the Starboard Suite and the Port Suite, all newly renovated and overlooking the River Stour. Each has a bar and a private outdoor terrace. In the Waterside Suite, an English Oak sparkling wine can start the celebration before the wedding breakfast, and with its own bar, drinks and dancing can carry on long into the night.

Dining at the river
The wedding breakfast is prepared by the hotel’s chefs, and the Club Restaurant is the place for award-winning dining beyond the wedding itself. The Club Lounge suits pre-dinner drinks, light lunches and easy breakfasts, and the Quay Bar, recently refurbished with sleek, atmospheric interiors, is the place to drop in for a drink.
