Situated on Weymouth's stunning Seafront and the beautiful Jurassic coast, the Jubilee Hotel West was built in 1855 and is a Grade II listed building full of character and with architectural significance. What this means is we have done our best to make the hotel modern, comfortable and welcoming whilst honouring the buildings beauty. This means that as this building was not purpose built as a hotel every single room is unique (and not all have wheelchair access). We have grouped our rooms into Bronze, Silver and Gold Tiered Rooms all designed to match our customers expectations and requirements and then these are split into additional room types based on the occupancy and beds in the room and the view out the window with some offering Seaview’s over Weymouth Bay. All our rooms are ensuite with showers, with a very limited number of rooms with additional baths. The Jubilee Hotel offers a family-friendly atmosphere, a 24-hour front desk, free Wi-Fi, the opportunity to add on Escape Dungeons, spa treatments and hot tub garden experiences, a smokehouse and grill bar with pool table and beer garden, and clean comfortable rooms. With The Secret Garden Spa open the door to a tranquil reality. Indulge and book (for a charge £) one of our signature massages, facials, nail treatments and spa body treatments. The Secret Garden Spa has 3 treatment rooms, 2 couple suites, a designated nail treatment space and a Secret Garden tucked away with Hot tub, Sauna and Sun Loungers. Our treatments are curated by our in-house beauty team with one goal: “it’s all about you”. Say “Hello” to beautiful treatments, a secret space where you can escape, relax and unwind from the world. Indulge yourself in the flavours and aromas of our on-site Three Chimneys Smokehouse and Grill Restaurant & Bar. It offers fresh local produce, unique home-smoked meats and a good selection of beers, wines, spirits, cocktails, mocktails and soft drinks. We serve breakfast each morning, dinner each evening and a scrumptious carvery from midday Sunday. We also offer some form of entertainment on most evenings, so why not join in the fun? Parking is not included in the cost of your accommodation; however, we have 5 onsite parking options, which operate of a first come first served basis and a team who will do their utmost to advise you. On arrival, please arrive at the rear of the property where our Reception and car parks are located and then our Reception Team will offer you all available car parking options and you can choose for yourself which one suits you best. These include 2 onsite car parks that are £10 per night; a pay and display at the front of the hotel; free parking at 2 long stay car parks close to the hotel; free on street parking close to the hotel; or free blue badge parking on permit spaces or the pay and display surrounding the hotel.

Our staff are helpful and approachable and will go the extra mile to meet all your expectations for a comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Why Dorset is great for you and your dog

Dorset is all about outdoor space and fresh air, making it ideal if your dog loves to explore. The coastline features miles of sandy beaches and rugged cliffs, while the countryside offers gentle trails through heathland, woods and charming villages.

Many beaches welcome dogs year-round or outside the busiest summer months, so you can enjoy sand runs or waterside strolls without hassle. Popular walking routes, such as the South West Coast Path or the Jurassic Coast trails, give you a mix of scenic vistas and safe paths for your dog.

Seaside towns like Lyme Regis, Weymouth and Swanage are known for their relaxed, dog-friendly atmosphere. Cafés, pubs and shops often welcome dogs, so you can stop for a coffee or a bite to eat during your adventures. Dorset is a county that encourages long walks, beach romps and exploration at your own pace, making it perfect for dog-friendly holidays.

A few popular dog-friendly hotels in Dorset

Here are a few options to help you plan your stay:

The Redcliff, Weymouth A stylish seaside hotel with dog-friendly rooms and quick access to Weymouth Beach, perfect for walks along the bay.

Mariners Hotel, Lyme Regis Set close to the Jurassic Coast, this characterful hotel welcomes dogs and is a great base for cliff-top trails and harbour strolls.

The Pines Hotel Overlooking the coast, this hotel offers pet-friendly rooms and easy access to the South West Coast Path and Swanage town centre.

The Kings Arms, Dorchester A cosy country inn that’s happy to host dogs and provides easy access to countryside walks and village trails.

Policies can vary, so it’s a good idea to check details before booking, especially if you’re travelling with more than one dog.
