Located in a grand Georgian residence on Margate's historic Hawley Square, The Reading Rooms offers just two private en-suite guest rooms, each occupying an entire floor of the house. We are perfectly positioned for the coast: four minutes' walk to Margate Main Sands, the beach sauna, the Turner Contemporary gallery, and the Old Town. A fifteen-minute walk gets you to the famous Walpole Bay Tidal Pool for cold water swimming.

Our bathrooms are designed for deep relaxation, featuring deep cast-iron roll-top baths, mosaic-tiled wet-room showers, and antique cast-iron radiators. We provide robes, slippers, and Margate’s own Dulcie (formerly Haeckels) amenities to complete your spa-like experience.
 

Complete privacy. Each floor is yours alone. We serve our celebrated breakfast hamper as room service at a private dining table overlooking the tree-lined garden square, at any time of your choosing. Freshly squeezed juices, pastries, and hot dishes. No dining rooms, no deadlines. Just your space, your time.
