Hotel Albion House at Ramsgate (Ramsgate, United Kingdom)

About Albion House at Ramsgate

As you would expect from a house which entertained royalty, politicians, actors and the wealthy, Albion House, Ramsgate sits in pride of place on top of the East cliff. Looking out over Albion Gardens and out to sea there are stunning views of the Royal Harbour – the only one in the country. The harbour was given its status of ‘Royal Harbour’ by King George IV as a gift for the hospitality he received when visiting Ramsgate in 1820. Discover the closest sandy beach to London, overlooked by some of the most beautiful Regency architecture in the UK. With nearly 900 listed buildings, walking around the town it is easy to spot the elegant Victorian and Regency architecture. Architects Mary Townley, Augustus Pugin and Edward Pugin have all designed and built buildings in Ramsgate. Locally there is more to discover with Broadstairs, home of Charles Dickens, and Margate, home of the Turner Gallery, being only a stone’s throw away. Canterbury with its magnificent Cathedral is a short 17 minutes on the high speed train.
