About Us
History
The Marsham Court Hotel in Bournemouth opened in 1913, occupying one of two neighbouring houses on the East Cliff.
A Mr and Mrs Marsh – who had a ham curing business – originally owned the building and supposedly put together the words Marsh and ham.
By 1923, demand for the hotel’s 13 rooms had become so great that the neighbouring house was bought and linked to provide 41 rooms.
