No42 by GuestHouse

42 High Street, Margate, Kent

← All places to stay

About

No42 occupies the High Street building that traded for years as the Sands Hotel, which was sold in 2022 and reopened under the GuestHouse group. That history matters practically, because a lot of older Margate coverage still points people at the Sands, and the Sands' old web domain is now an unclaimed page rather than a hotel. No42 sits between the High Street and the seafront, so Main Sands, Dreamland and the Old Town are all a few minutes on foot, and the station is about ten. It is the most conventionally hotel-like of Margate's better rooms, with a rooftop bar, which on this coast means a north-facing sunset view over the water.
