Whitby, United Kingdom
Quirky 3-star boutique hotel with Whitby Abbey views and themed rooms
La Rosa Hotel offers 7 individually themed rooms inspired by local history, such as the Stoker room based on Dracula lore and the Saloon room reflecting a Wild West aesthetic. Each room includes a roll-top bath, parquet floors, and sea views toward Whitby Abbey. The Crows Nest apartment on the top floor has 3 bedrooms, a living room, and a separate toilet.
Guests can book cocktail-making sessions in the library lounge, where Brodie mixes drinks like Turkish Rose using vegan cream. A continental breakfast hamper with fresh juice and pastries is delivered to each room on antique plates each morning. The tea room serves cakes and coffee in china cups, and the lounge bar has an eclectic music playlist curated by the owners.
The hotel sits on East Terrace, a 2-minute walk from Whitby Beach and 1.1 km from Whitby Abbey. Rooms on the front have 180-degree views of the harbour, the 199 Steps, and the Abbey ruins. Scarborough Open Air Theatre and the Captain Cook Memorial Museum are within a short drive.
Dogs are allowed in designated rooms like the Saloon room and receive a welcome goody bag with treats upon arrival. The hotel provides a parking permit for the W Disc Zone (£5 for 5 days) and street parking directly outside. A pet-friendly lounge area allows dogs to accompany guests while they enjoy drinks.
Staff Helen, Rob, and Iona provide personalized recommendations for local restaurants and can arrange vegan banquet dinners upon request. Board games and puzzles are available in the communal areas, and the hotel offers flexible check-in and check-out policies. The property features a holistic environment with no TVs, encouraging guests to explore the curated collection of antiques and oddities.
