Redcliffe Hotel, Victorian seaside hotel in Paignton, England
The Redcliffe Hotel stands on a headland between Paignton and Preston beaches, featuring 70 rooms with direct access to a private beach section.
Built between 1855 and 1865 as Redcliffe Towers for Colonel Robert Smith, the building transformed into a hotel in 1903 and received Grade II listing status in 1951.
The hotel maintains a dedicated suite named after novelist Dick Francis, who regularly stayed at the establishment during his writing career.
The reception desk operates from 07:30 to 21:30, offering guest services, indoor swimming pool access, and dining options with sea views.
The building incorporates architectural elements influenced by Indian design, reflecting Colonel Smith's time spent in the subcontinent.
