HISTORY OF THE ARLINGTON
The Arlington was originally built as a large private residence in 1864, around the time that the town's pleasure gardens were being created. The earliest records indicate that a 98 year term lease for £12.00 a year was granted! The railway reached Bournemouth in 1870, which made it far easier to reach and increased the number of visitors to the area. The Arlington began being leased as furnished rental apartments to accomodate the rapid rise in tourism.
However, it wasn't until the 1920's that the Arlington was converted into a private hotel. It was purchased and refurbished by a Mr F. Flewker, with hot and cold water provided in all rooms and gas fires. The original terms were from 3 guineas for a single bedroom and 6 guineas for a double bedroom.
The hotel changed hands in 1926 to a Mrs and Miss E. E. H. Jones and underwent various improvements, including the installation of central heating. The Arlington changed ownership once again in the twenties to W.V Stuart and F.M. Clement, who ran the hotel until the early 1950's when Marshall Wilson and his
The Wilson's had the hotel until the late 1950's until it was bought by Mr and Mrs Miles. Subsequent owners, including the Hearn's in the 1970's, made many improvements to the property and various extensions took place at this time. The hotel continues to be privately owned and maintained to ensure a pleasant homely atmosphere. We have had many eminent guests stay with us, including Home Secretary Charles Clarke, and several Tory, Labour and Lib Dem MPs'.
The Arlington has repeatedly been a popular choice for championship snooker players Jimmy White, Steven Hendry, James Watanna, Michael Holt, Matthew Stevens, Ronnie O'Sullivan, Alan McManus, & Mark Williams. Snooker fans keep your eyes open!
