Port of Douglas
Harbour Hotels and Accommodation
(Douglas, Isle of Man, British Isles)
Douglas is characterised by a traditional seaside charm that has been lost by many of the UK's port cities.
The compact nature of Douglas makes most of the city accessible on foot and lends the city and intimate quality, with friendly residents welcoming visitors to the island.
As a popular tourist hub and a base for exploring the rest of the island, Douglas has a good network of hotels and accommodation options, while the small size of the island mean that lodging choices across the Isle of Man can be reached from Douglas within a 40-minute drive.
The summer months see thousands of tourists arrive in Douglas by ferry, looking for accommodation. If you plan to visit in the peak season, it is necessary to book your hotel room in advance. If you are looking for somewhere upmarket, try the Douglas Hilton, with its swimming pool and leisure facilities, or the recently refurbished All Seasons. Other five-star properties include the well-established Hydro Hotel; the luxurious and stylish Claremont; and the Ascot and Arrandale hotels.
Those on a tighter budget will also not have difficulty in finding a suitable place to stay, with plenty of reasonably-priced guesthouses, bed and breakfasts and small hotels.
