Situated in old Harwich, The Pier offers historic, quay side hotel accommodation. Free Wi-Fi is accessible throughout. The Pier Hotel is set across 2 refurbished buildings, one dating from the 1850s and one from the 1700s. All rooms have their own bathroom and many have views over the estuary and sofa beds for children. Each room has a TV with satellite channels, a minibar and tea/coffee making facilities. Taking advantage of its waterside location, The Pier Hotel has a restaurant on the first floor, and the Navyard Bar and Terrace on the ground floor. Further bars and restaurants are within a 5-minute walk, and the ferry to Felixstowe and Shotley leaves from next door to the property. Harwich Town railway station is 0.4 miles away. The Electric Palace Cinema is a 3-minute walk from The Pier Hotel.
