On the Waterfront

They’ve been building a new hotel in Southampton’s Ocean Village , designed to emulate a superyacht and appropriately positioned on the edge of the promontory projecting into the marina.
The marina has undergone extensive redesign and refurbishment since 2015, as part of a five-year investment strategy which is on course to be be complete in complete in little more than two years’ time.. The redevelopment by marina owner MDL, includes the opening of new restaurants and bars, as well as renovation of its berthing facilities. The 85-bedroom Southampton Harbour Hotel & Spa is due to open next month.
The hotel itself will boast a rooftop bar with panoramic views across the Solent and all bedrooms are said to have a view over the marina.
The marina owners say seamlessly tying together leisure, sailing and a stunning location to live, Ocean Village exudes a lifestyle which perfectly encapsulates Southampton’s maritime heritage and thriving millennial scene.

It is also of course, the home of the Royal Southampton Yacht Club, which tomorrow celebrates the 30th anniversary of the laying of the Foundation Stone for its Clubhouse by the Club Admiral, HRH Prince Michael of Kent. The clubhouse still commands a dominating position across the marina from the hotel.
