Welcome to St Ives
Imagine waking up to a panoramic view of a quintessentially English fishing harbour with a long sandy beach stretching off into the distance, Such an experience awaits you at the Hotel St Eia in St Ives, Cornwall.
This small, friendly hotel occupies a building dating back to 1901 when it was built as a home and studio for marine artist Julius Olsson. Julius had an eye for a good view and today guests from all over the UK and beyond get to sample the view along Porthminster beach beyond St Ives harbour.
As a further luxury, Hotel St Eia has a roof-top garden for sunbathing and evening drinks as the sun sets spectacularly over the sea. There's not many better ways of ending the day than that!

About St Ives
St. Ives is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Europe, as well as being "Seaside Town of the Year" in 2007, and the Hotel St. Eia is ideally placed close to both rail and bus stations and only a five minute walk from the town, harbour and beaches. The area is unbeatable for all sorts of outdoor activities on land or sea with coastal walks and good surfing conditions right on the doorstep.Steeped in history and tradition with a long and rich fishing background, St. Ives' picturesque harbour is the lively focus of the town. Regular winners of the top awards for 'Britain in Bloom', St. Ives is loved by all who visit, for its colourful quaint winding streets.
St Ives is a good year- round holiday destination and the changing seasons bring with them a unique and contrasting beauty of their own. The wild winter weather brings mountainous seas, eerie sea-mist and howling gales to our shores whilst the summer can produce the finest sunshine and an almost 'tropical' feel to the area.
To contradict this, temperate dry days can also be found within the winter months whilst the summer showers clear the air.
