Harbour Hotel St Ives
Overlooking the golden sands of Portminster Beach, Harbour Hotel St Ives is a four-star boutique retreat that pairs Cornish coastal charm with contemporary comfort.
Perched on The Terrace above Porthminster Beach, the hotel’s nautical styling and art deco touches create a relaxed, seaside-tropical feel just a short walk from the heart of town. Whether you are after a spa escape or a seafood-fuelled weekend away, the hotel’s beachfront position makes it an easy, scenic stroll from the harbour, galleries, and cobbled streets of St Ives.

Accessibility
Harbour Hotel St Ives has lift access to its upper floors, and its restaurant and bar areas are accessible at ground level.
As with many Cornish clifftop properties, some pathways and terraces involve a slope or a short flight of steps, so guests with limited mobility are encouraged to contact the hotel directly ahead of their stay to confirm the best room location and parking arrangements.
