  90th Anniversary

  This year marks the 90th year from which Burgh Island Hotel opened its doors. Whilst we are excited about the ongoing re-creation programme, this year we are just as excited to delve into the hotel’s rich history.

  Did you know: During World War II, due to its seaside location, Burgh Island Hotel was used as a recovery centre for wounded RAF personnel. The top two floors of the hotel were also damaged by a bomb during conflict.

  Improvements made to the hotel in the 1930’s included the addition of ‘The Captain’s Cabin’. This was literally the Captain’s cabin of HMS Ganges, a warship built in 1821 (and the last British wooden flagship in the Royal Navy).
