Welcome to the Rock Hotel Gibraltar - The highest rated of Gibraltar's Hotels...

The Rock Hotel is an institution amongst Gibraltar Hotels and indeed the Mediterranean. Built in 1932 by the Marquis of Bute, the hotel to this day still offers standards of service and guest care from that bygone, more genteel era.

Decorated in the colonial style Gibraltar's Rock offers 104 comfortable bedrooms which include a number of suites, junior suites and penthouses.

Of all the Gibraltar hotels the Rock enjoys a unique aspect in Gibraltar with all rooms having magnificent views across the Bay of Gibraltar, the Spanish mainland and the Rif Mountains of Morocco.

There are many reasons to visit this gem amongst Gibraltar Hotels.

LOCATION

Hotel The Rock is located in the city centre of Gibraltar and was established in 1932. It is close to the Rock of Gibraltar.

PROPERTY AMENITIES

* The culinary style has unashamedly absorbed influences from both Iberia and north Africa as well as an obvious leaning to all that is good about modern British cuisine. Naturally we also take full advantage of our Mediterranean location and the abundance of seafood available on our doorstep. In fact, our main restaurant enjoys panoramic views across Gibraltar Bay and the Spanish mainland and Morocco's Rif mountains. The hotel feature a daily changing "house menu" as well as a full seasonally changing à la Carte selection that the staff hope will delight you as you sip your glass of Manzanilla with our famous herb infused olives. There is also an extensive range of conference, banqueting and private dining menus and of course chef would be happy to design ad hoc celebratory or corporate menus to suit any budget. The wine list is varied and extensive whilst representing excellent value. The staff make no apologies for majoring on some of the fabulous wines that Spanish neighbours are producing at the moment in a remarkable range of weights, styles and colours.

* The lounges are designed to make the very most of the magnificent views that the Rock enjoys. Afternoon teas, very much in the English style, are served here unfailingly each and every day with a shamefully high calorie count!

* The pool, which is open-air and of the seawater variety, sits in its own secluded garden away from the hustle and bustle. This area enjoys magnificent sunshine for the majority of the day and is a must for those seeking that Mediterranean tan.

* The Rock has two excellent meeting rooms that are ideal for a simple boardroom set up to a medium size conference of 90 or so along with all the options in-between.

ROOM AMENITIES

* There is no such thing as a basic room at the Rock. All of our guest rooms enjoy the luxury of a sea view, in room fridges, luxurious bathrobes, welcome decanters of scotch and sherry, trouser presses, fully remote controlled air-conditioning and heating, satellite television and radio as well as facilities to make a fresh ground coffee when you want one. You'll even find lollipops by the bedside and ducks in your bathroom! All but a few of rooms have balconies and our suites and penthouses have CD players for the musically inclined.
