Historic Whitby hotel with themed rooms and sea views
Rooms & Themes
La Rosa Hotel offers 7 rooms, each with a distinct theme inspired by Whitby's history and local lore, such as the Stoker room (a nod to Bram Stoker) and the Arabesque room. The rooms feature parquet floors, private bathrooms with roll-top baths, and furnishings like a four-poster bed in the Lewis room. The Crows Nest apartment spans three bedrooms on the top floor, with a living room and separate toilet.
Dining & Breakfast
Continental breakfast hampers are delivered directly to guest rooms, including vegetarian options and vegan alternatives upon request. The hotel also serves a full vegan banquet prepared by the owner, with options like pani puri amuse-bouche and pistachio kulfi. Afternoon tea is available in the tearoom, served on vintage crockery with fresh cakes and coffee.
Bar & Entertainment
The cocktail library offers interactive cocktail-making experiences with drinks like the La Rosa cocktail, mixed by staff using fresh ingredients. The lounge bar plays an eclectic playlist and stays open into the evening for guests. Board games and puzzles are available in common areas, and the hotel hosts New Year's Eve parties with local fireworks views.

Dogs are welcome at La Rosa Hotel and receive a goody bag upon arrival. The Saloon room is designated as a pet-friendly room, allowing dogs to stay with their owners. The hotel's resident dog, John, often greets guests and assists with breakfast leftovers.
