About The Captains Club Hotel

Our Story

Stay, sip, and soak up the riverside views. Beautifully positioned on the banks of the River Stour in Christchurch, Dorset, Captain’s Club Hotel & Spa is where laid-back luxury meets family-friendly fun. Explore the best of the South West, drift along the river at your own pace, and recharge in the CC Spa — all before sinking into a cosy armchair for supper and settling into a river-view room for the night. We’re celebrating two decades of Captain’s Club. Club 20 is our way of marking 20 years of the hotel and spa and saying thank you to the guests who love us most. Club 20 membership is now full.

What Makes Us Special

Raise a glass to success, friendship, love, and great food at the Club Restaurant, with food created by our Head Chef, Mo Sabbir. Our AA 2 Rosette restaurant brings together a laid-back atmosphere, award-winning dining and beautiful views over the River Stour. In the warmer months, take lunch or dinner al fresco on our sunny terrace. Our outdoor terrace is the perfect place for laid-back brunches and lunches, romantic suppers or tempting afternoon tea. Join us for a glass of fizz or a cocktail as you catch up with loved ones, while away an afternoon under the shade of our umbrellas, or wine and dine as you watch the sun set over Christchurch harbour. Perfect for pre-dinner drinks, light lunches and easy breakfasts, our Club Lounge is the ideal place to start your plans here in Christchurch. The recently refurbished Quay Bar has sleek, atmospheric interiors that reflect our beautiful surroundings, with views over the River Stour. Enjoy expertly crafted cocktails from our award-winning mixologist. From cosy doubles to three-bedroom Luxury Suites, there’s room for everyone — including your four-legged friend — to stretch out, settle in and soak up four-star comfort. Choose from 17 spacious double/twin rooms and 12 two- and three-bedroom suites, each offering river views. Accommodation options also include a Double Wheelchair Accessible room and a Junior Suite, with rooms and suites sleeping from two to six guests. Make time for yourself with our award-winning spa treatments, packages and breaks. Our spa breaks weave together carefully chosen treatments, dining and well-earned downtime against a waterside backdrop. Choose an overnight Riverside Spa Escape, a Tranquil Twilight stay with afternoon tea and a poolside glass of wine and cheeses, The Midweek Pause with two treatments per guest, or a two-night Check In, Chill Out break with a full body massage, dinner and breakfast.
