Facilities and Capacity

The Royal Hotel Scarborough, with its imposing architecture and famous staircase and atrium, bears the unmistakable hallmarks of the Regency Period. Its spacious ballroom and ceremony room can accommodate up to 120 guests, allowing you to hold both your civil ceremony and evening reception under one roof. While the more intimate space is teeming with natural light, the grand ballroom is tailor-made for an evening on the dance floor. You're welcome to book a live band to play on the impressive staging area. What's more, the hotel offers a fantastic range of comfortable accommodations for both you and your guests. With a variety of well-appointed rooms with beautiful sea views, there are a few more romantic places to spend your first night as newlyweds.

The Royal Hotel Scarborough

GENUINE REVIEW
honestly if I could give this place more than 5 stars I would. Everything from the food to the price was astounding. Our wedding coordinator (Helen) who works for the hotel, was beyond fantastic. She helped us every step of the way and dealt with every single request we had without any issue or hesitation. She honestly made us and our wedding feel like the only one she's ever done! The whole experience working with the hotel to the big day itself was nothing other than perfection. All of the stresses that could have come from wedding planning and organising etc just went out of the window when we started working with this hotel. For reference our wedding was 24/04/2024 and we had about 30 guests. We held our ceremony and reception there and I couldn't be more glad. It was affordable and looked like we had paid 10s of thousands. We chose to buy our own decor as i was very parricular about how I wanted our aesthetics to be, but i could have chosen to rent decor from the hotel at an affordable extra cost. Despite buying the decor myself, the staff helped to arrange them and decorate with me which saved a lot of time and stress. I genuinely can't thank them all enough for making our day perfect.

Beautiful old style hotel and fabulous staff

Helen the wedding co-ordinater was fantastic and helped us throughout planning of our wedding at The Royal. No job was too small and she even put our wedding cake together on the morning of the wedding so we could have time for some fresh air! Her and her team on the day we're so helpful and made everything go smoothly to make our day so special. The ceremony room and ballroom were just beautiful and looked amazing at Christmas time. The honeymoon suite was spacious and perfect. The Royal Hotel is an old regency style hotel so does have some quirks but that's what we liked about it.

Couldn't have asked for a better day

Helen was absolutely amazing with organising our wedding, she went above and beyond to make sure the day went exactly how we planned. I don't live in Scarborough (although I was born there and my family are there, hence why we chose there) and Helen was always available whenever I needed her. The venue was out of this world and was everything we'd hoped for and more.

Helen our wedding planner was fantastic

My experience regarding, The Royal hotel; was really good Helen the wedding planner was always on call and eager to help. I can't compliment her enough for what she gave us on the day. If your looking to get married in Scarborough I would strongly advise The Royal. The only issues came from the night staff, they took the food away a little early and a lot of people hadn't had chance to eat, including myself! But this could of been dealt with I was just so busy I didn't get chance to speak with the night manager. But if you looking for the most breath-taking views with the Grand Stairwell and the Wedding room. Thank you again Helen.

Perfect from beginning to end 😁

We booked an appointment to see Helen the wedding coordinator and to have a look around the hotel. From that moment on I had a fabulous experience. Communication with Helen was spot on, nothing too much trouble. The big day itself was just perfect,the staff, the food, the ceremony, the reception. Everything went so well and exceeded our expectations thankyou Helen and team xx.

Our special day

We booked our hotel in 2021 for 30.9.23.
Throughout the last 2 years Helen from the Royal hotel was been absolutely amazing. The work Helen and the team put in for our special day was truly amazing. We choose afternoon tea and all we can say was WOW. The buffet on the evening amazing!
I cannot thank everyone at the royal enough for what they did for us!
