The Rock Hotel, 3 Europa Road, Gibraltar
Here we have a quick tour of my room plus a rant about it at the same time, while I stayed at the Rock Hotel in Gibraltar.
Don't get me wrong, I really like this hotel as it is an iconic landmark and feels like a little piece of England. It has a lovely pool and is close to the Botanic Gardens (also known as La Alameda Gardens) and has envious views across the Straits. That said, there are a number of things I found that need addressing - some defy logic and some, I admit, are down to me being picky. Have a look at this video and let me know if you have experienced anything odd as I'd be interested to know.
However much I moan in this video, I would still return to this hotel as there is something that will always get me coming back. I can't describe it, but there is a definite feeling of being in a comfort zone in Gibraltar - for me anyway. I've put some website links at the top of this section that are well worth checking out, including the official Rock Hotel website. Please don't let this room tour and rant put you off as there are many positives at the Rock Hotel; I've just highlighted some negatives, that's all. To whet your appetite, here is some information about the famous Rock Hotel:
The Rock Hotel was built by John Chrichton-Stuart, the Marquis of Bute in 1932 and it was acquired by its present owners, The Bland Group in 1959. Like the Raffles Hotel in Singapore, The Rock has been a magnet for royalty and the rich and famous. As well as Sir Winston Churchill, Errol Flynn, Alec Guinness and Sean Connery, John Lennon and Yoko Ono stayed at the hotel and exchanged their wedding vows in one of its private rooms. The history of The Rock Hotel is part of the history of Gibraltar itself.
More recently the Rock Hotel has been the venue for BBC’s ‘New Tricks’ which was shot on the property while the cast stayed in the hotel which remains the preferred choice for visiting celebrities and dignitaries today. These famous visitors are immortalised at the hotel in its ‘Hall of Fame’ gallery.
Today the hotel’s 1930’s origins are evident in the subtle colours and timeless décor which combines elements of Gibraltar’s colonial heritage with more contemporary touches.
Come and stay at this hotel, sit on your balcony or terrace, and take in the view (and the odd monkey or two). Then, go and have some afternoon tea. You never know, you may see me there too! Enjoy...
