Welcome & Introduction
BACKGROUND
Queen’s Hotel is one of Southsea’s most famous landmarks. Built in 1903, it sits in a stunning position with views over Southsea Common, the Solent and the Isle of Wight beyond.
This project aims to upgrade the hotel, adding to the accommodation and facilities, including providing residential apartments on the vacant adjacent site along with a variety of mixed uses and a better relationship with the common. The hotel can also act as a catalyst for the regeneration of this part of Southsea Town Centre.
Architects JTP are acting on behalf of Manning Hotels Limited to work with the local community to develop a Vision for the restoration and further development of Queen’s Hotel and the wider site.
COMMUNITY PLANNING DAY
The Community Planning Day will be an opportunity to share local knowledge and memories and contribute to planning the site’s restoration and development through workshops and hands-on planning groups.
REPORT BACK PRESENTATION
Following the public workshop day, the JTP led team will analyse and summarise the outcomes and draw up a Vision for the hotel site and its relationship with Southsea. This will be presented to the local community at 6.30pm on Tuesday 13th July at St Jude’s Church.
Following this event, the design team will then move forward to prepare a planning application for the site, which it is anticipated will be submitted in late Summer 2016.
Join us to help create a Vision for the restoration anddevelopment of the Queen’s Hotel and explore its relationship with Southsea town centre.

Character Areas
SOUTHSEA SEAFRONT CONSERVATION AREA includes Southsea Common and many groups of buildings fronting onto it. The open green space dominates the area and provides key views in different directions towards the city and the sea. Southsea Common attracts many visitors during the year including for large events. The Common is home to many monuments and memorials some of which are Listed. The buildings on the Clarence Parade are mainly four storey residencies or hotels. These buildings facing the open space create a prominent built frontage to Southsea Common and contribute signif icantly to the character of the area.
OWEN’S SOUTHSEA CONSERVATION AREA features key buildings developed in the 19th century. Within the area there are many Listed Buildings and a number of important features that contribute towards its distinctive character. Its main character feature is that it is formed of grand residential streets. Palmerston Road, Albert Road and Osborne Road form the commercial, cultural and entertainment centre of Southsea. The majority of buildings are 3-4 storeys high with some surviving original buildings and shopfronts that date back to 1850s. Clifton, Richmond and Netley Terraces are important groups of Listed Buildings close to the hotel.

THE SOUTHSEA TOWN CENTRE is focused around the pedestrianised Palmerston Road. This busy shopping area includes department stores as well as a wide mix of shops, cafes, restaurants and bars. The centre of Southsea extends along Osborne Road as far as the Queens Hotel. The centre’s many small scale shops at ground level create an active public frontage and busy streets.

Site History
THE QUEEN’S HOTEL
The Queen’s Hotel was originally built as a private residence for Sir John and Lady Morris. It was called Southsea House and was designed by the architect Augustus Livesay in 1861. It was later transformed into the Queen’s Hotel, one of the f irst hotels in Southsea, by William Kemp Junior.
In the early hours of the morning on December 8th 1891 the hotel was destroyed by f ire. The f ire started near the kitchen and rapidly spread, killing two chambermaids trapped by falling masonry. The hotel was rebuilt in 1903 by the architect T.W.Cutler who transformed it into the building that stands overlooking the common today with its Edwardian style in brown and cream terracotta.
The hotel has become an important Southsea Landmark and place to stay and visit. Twiggy, the iconic sixties model, stayed there while performing at the Kings’ Theatre and actor Oliver Reed also visited, as has footballing icon George Best, Carry-On star Barbara Windsor, Laurel and Hardy and Rowan Atkinson, who filmed an episode of Mr Bean there in the 1990s.
