Located on the seafront at the northern end of Douglas promenade, the 3-star Rutland hotel offers panoramic views across Douglas Bay and a strategic location for TT visitors.

This Victorian-style hotel offers en-suite bathrooms with shower/bath, flatscreen TVs, tea and coffee-making facilities, free Wi-Fi, a bar, and a restaurant that serves up hearty breakfasts and a stupendous Sunday carvery!

The hotel markets itself as ‘biker friendly’ as whilst promenade parking is first come first served, the hotel is well used to the influx of motorbikes and specific needs of fans.

Situated at the quieter end of the promenade, there are still plenty of drinking and eating places within walking distance, but its far enough away from town that you can still get a peaceful night of sleep.

Nearby

Bars and restaurants are within a short walk, and Douglas City Centre is a 20-minute walk along the promenade. The ferry terminal is approximately 5 minutes driving, and with bus stops close by, it remains a convenient location for exploring Douglas and further afield.

There is also a horse tram stop right outside, which can make for a more interesting mode of transport to take you along Douglas promenade!

Accessibility

There are 9 external steps from street level, leading up to the hotel entrance and whilst there is a handrail, there is no access ramp.
