We'd like to help you find an accommodation that's perfect for your trip.
The museums, historic sites, and theaters are just a few reasons to visit Southampton. If you're interested in spending some time outdoors, New Forest National Park and Mayflower Park are some top places to check out. Southampton Cruise Terminal and Tudor House and Garden are also a few notable stops. Whether you're looking to stay in a trendy neighborhood or you'd like to be a little more tucked away, we'd like to help you find your ideal accommodation in Southampton.
Great Neighborhoods for History
There are plenty of spots where visitors can trace Southampton's history. Hotels in the Old Town are the best choice, where it's possible to walk the medieval Town Walls and step back in time at the timber-framed Tudor House and Garden. Find many of the budget chain hotels just to the north in the modern Southampton City Centre near Central station. Those interested in the city's maritime past should explore the area around Watts Park, where they'll find the engaging SeaCity Museum and the poignant Titanic Engineers' Memorial. The Titanic set sail in 1912 on its fateful voyage from Southampton, as did the Mayflower in 1620, bound for the New World via Plymouth. Ocean Dock, the Titanic's departure point, then called White Star Dock, is just one of the spots on Southampton's self-guided Titanic Trail.
Southampton City Centre
The lively bars and waterfront views are top of the list for many visitors to Southampton City Centre. A stop by Southampton Maritime Museum or Southampton Passenger Terminal might round out your trip.
Waterside dining is one of the biggest draws to staying in Ocean Village Marina. Restaurants serving Italian small plates and Thai tapas stand alongside high-end chains and destination dining. Book a room in the Old Town for more traditional eating. You'll find brasseries, bistros, and a few excellent Indian restaurants, many serving super-fresh seafood. For outstanding pubs, consider staying outside of Southampton itself. Surrounding villages such as Shedfield and Warnford have both 16th-century inns and modern gastropubs.
Shedfield
Shedfield is well-liked for many features, particularly its golf courses, spas, and restaurants. Though there might not be top sights in Shedfield, consider a stop by Wickham Estate or Utilita Bowl, located nearby.
