Which Are the Best Boutique Places to Book a Stay in Portsmouth?
The city of Portsmouth – more than boats, naval barracks and Charles Dickens – is sprawled on the south coast of England, awash with stylish hotels. We navigate the drapes, scatter cushions and capacious four-posters to reveal the best boutique places to stay in Portsmouth.
1. Village Hotel

The sleek black-and-glass exterior of the Village Hotel is your first hint of the very contemporary vibes found inside. Rooms are designed with chic, grey walls offset by neon prints and Pop Art scatter cushions. And the hotel embraces the modern in technology as well as style: you can download an app that will turn your phone into your room key. A stay also gives you access to the modern fitness centre, which has a purple-lit pool and lots of equipment to keep you in shape. Later, head to the in-house restaurant and bar for pub grub under the warm glow of screens showing the latest sports.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.
Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.
Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way.

Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.
Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.
