Christmas at The Salthouse Harbour Hotel
Harbourside Stays over Christmas
Christmas at the Salthouse doesn’t follow the traditional country house formula – and that’s exactly why so many guests love it. Set on Ipswich Marina, you’re right in the heart of the town, with festive shopping, theatre trips, harbour walks and seasonal events all on your doorstep.
As Christmas approaches, the pace outside begins to soften. The mornings are crisp, the marina is peaceful and the days feel a little slower. Inside, it’s a different story. The hotel comes alive with festive dining, celebrations, laughter and the unmistakable buzz of Christmas. Whether you’re staying for the big day or simply joining us for lunch, dinner or drinks, we’ll make sure you feel part of it.
New Years Eve Overnight Stay & Dinner Party
Exclusively for guests staying on our New Year’s Eve package, our Black Tie Dinner Party is your excuse to get dressed up, stay out a little later and celebrate the year in style.
Think black tie, sequins, killer heels, sharp jackets and a touch of glamour. Start the evening with Champagne on arrival before settling at the table for four indulgent courses, live music til late and an atmosphere that builds as the clock approaches midnight.
No checking train times. No booking taxis. No designated drivers.
