History & Character

The Star Hotel occupies a Grade II listed former coaching inn on Southampton's High Street. Victorian-era architecture provides a unique character, with the Royal Family having visited in the 1800s. Guests can experience a working mechanical lift and a Lounge Bar serving cocktails and wines.

The hotel is situated 450 metres from West Quay Shopping Centre and less than a mile from Southampton Central Train Station. Southampton Port is 650 metres away, providing direct ferries to the Isle of Wight and cruise ship terminals. Nearby attractions include Mayflower Park and Tudor House Museum, both within walking distance.

Bedrooms include family rooms accommodating up to four guests, with some rooms featuring four-poster beds. Earlier check-in and later check-out times are available compared to major chains. The hotel offers affordable on-site parking at £7 per night.

Dining & Bar

The hotel serves a cooked-to-order breakfast each morning, with special diet menus available on request. The Lounge Bar offers a selection of cocktails, wines, and champagne. An on-site bar provides a range of drinks and is open for evening relaxation.
