About

The Radcliffe Hotel

Located on Paignton’s seafront overlooking Tor Bay, The Redcliffe Hotel is one of the English Riviera’s best-known coastal event hotels, combining traditional seaside hospitality, flexible function facilities and panoramic sea views within a prominent waterfront setting. Positioned directly on the South Devon coastline, the hotel has developed a strong reputation for weddings, private celebrations, conferences and group events, offering a more relaxed coastal alternative to city-centre venues.

Set within landscaped grounds above the promenade, the hotel blends classic hospitality interiors with versatile event spaces and extensive leisure facilities, creating an event environment that feels welcoming, accessible and distinctly Devon. Its position overlooking the bay gives many of the event spaces uninterrupted sea views, adding a strong destination feel for both daytime and evening events.

The venue caters for a broad mix of corporate and private events, with flexible function suites capable of supporting conferences, dinners, networking events, weddings, exhibitions and social celebrations.

Event Spaces

The Ballroom
The hotel’s principal event space, the Ballroom is designed for larger receptions, dinners, weddings and conferences. Featuring flexible layouts, dancefloor space and direct sea-facing outlooks, the room works particularly well for gala dinners, celebrations and larger hospitality events.

Conference & Function Suites
Supporting the main ballroom are a collection of flexible conference and function rooms suited to meetings, presentations, training sessions and private dining. The hotel’s layout allows events to operate across multiple connected spaces with breakout opportunities throughout.

Private Dining & Lounge Areas
The hotel also offers a range of smaller hospitality spaces and lounges suited to informal networking, drinks receptions and smaller private gatherings, many benefitting from coastal views across Tor Bay.

Outdoor Areas & Sea Views
One of the venue’s defining features is its elevated coastal position overlooking the English Riviera. Outdoor terraces and surrounding seafront areas create additional breakout and networking opportunities during warmer months.

Residential Events & Accommodation
With extensive onsite accommodation, The Redcliffe Hotel is well suited to residential conferences, group stays, weddings and multi-day events, allowing delegates and guests to remain onsite throughout their visit.

Dining & Hospitality
The hotel provides in-house catering and hospitality services for conferences, weddings and private events, supporting both formal dining and more relaxed event formats.
