A message from the family
In 1997, Bob Blakemore, a businessman from the West Midlands along with his wife May Blakemore, purchased Hotel Miramar and set about creating Bournemouth’s Country House Hotel by the Sea.
Bournemouth was always a very special place for the Blakemore family. Bob and May had their honeymoon in Bournemouth and spent many happy years on holiday along the coastline with their children, Chris and Clare.
For many years, Bob always admired the hotel from a distance. When he achieved his dream of purchasing the property, he set about refurbishing and renovating Hotel Miramar, launching it onto a path of success.
Sadly, in 2001 Bob passed away, however, Hotel Miramar continues to be under the ownership of the Blakemore family, led by Clare alongside the dedicated support of Team Miramar. Hotel Miramar is very much a family affair, and this is felt by guests and staff alike.
The Blakemore family would like to wish you a very pleasant stay and hope that you enjoy your time with us. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
