About Royal Hotel Scarborough
The Royal Hotel Scarborough occupies a historic Regency-era building on St Nicholas Street with views over Scarborough’s South Bay, offering a wedding setting that incorporates grand architecture, gardens and sea vistas. On arrival, guests pass through a large atrium and up the hotel’s distinctive sweeping staircase, features that reflect the building’s 19th-century origins and are often used in wedding photography.
Weddings and civil ceremonies are hosted on-site, with function suites capable of holding up to 350 guests. Couples work with an exclusive wedding coordinator from initial enquiry through to the day itself. Packages can include civil ceremonies, morning and evening reception room hire, and a wedding breakfast, and the venue is fully licensed to conduct legal wedding ceremonies. Red carpet arrival, toast drinks, linen, still and sparkling water on tables, a cake stand with knife, and special overnight rates for wedding guests are among options referenced in the venue’s package details.
The Royal’s location places it in walking distance of Scarborough’s main attractions and facilities, allowing couples and their guests to combine wedding celebrations with access to the town’s beaches and local amenities
