Your perfect coastal retreat

Nestled between historic Old Leigh and the vibrant town centre of Leigh-on-Sea, The Ship Hotel stands moments from the Thames Estuary. Here, where fishing boats bring in their daily catch and centuries-old cockle sheds line the shore, you’ll discover contemporary luxury just 44 minutes from London by train.

Thoughtfully designed guest rooms, many offering captivating sea views across the Essex coast, The Ship Hotel welcomes you for short breaks, weekend escapes, and leisurely getaways.

Savour fresh seasonal dishes in our restaurant, enjoy local ales in our bar, then drift off to sleep in your welcoming room.
