We were thrilled to see The Pier in Harwich named as one of Fiona Duncan’s favourite British hotel rooms with a view in her latest Telegraph article.
Reviewing her 20 years as one of the leading hotel critics, Fiona details some of her favourite places in the British isles and around the world, with this wonderful Essex coastal property received a well deserved name check in the piece.

The Pier in Harwich is a small AA 4 star hotel and a very special destination for lovers of great food and drink. The first floor restaurant overlooks the harbour, ships and working docks and is only a stone’s throw from the estuary where the fresh fish is landed daily.
The menu is proudly influenced by the best European cooking and celebrates the changing food influences from Britain’s mainland and our European peers. Spacious interiors and design reference Harwich’s industrial past, but deliver a striking balance between function, luxury and glamour.
Why not come and enjoy the view for yourself? You can book a room online or call the team on 01255 241212.
