Shah of Persia is easily one of the best and ideally located hotels in Poole. We are close to the town centre of Poole, well known for its stunning harbour, busy quayside and the world renowned Poole Pottery.

End the day with a hearty pub meal; choose from our menu of regularly changing specials, priced at two-for-one on main meals, which includes all of the pub classics you know and love, like fish & chips, burgers and desserts. Not forgetting the kids who have their very own menu. Find a great wine selection, as well as a range of soft drinks and spirits. We boast an excellent selection of cask ales, from Marston’s five breweries.

Our guests can book from a choice of 15 rooms, complete with digital television and wifi, for an authentic home-from-home experience. Our guests can also enjoy free parking at the Shah of Persia. Sleep soundly in a kingsize Hypnos bed, on the Beaumont mattress, which is filled with a wool-silk mix and has a surface which regulates your body’s temperature.

Poole is home to the world’s second largest natural harbour. Better than that, you’re ideally placed to travel to some key attractions on the South West Coast. Why not take a stroll along the breathtakingly golden sands of the beach? Or take an excursion to Brownsea Island - a thriving natural habitat where you can spot red squirrels and a variety of rare birds. Or enjoy a peaceful few hours at Compton Acres - the finest privately owned gardens in Europe, with its very own tea rooms. We’re also just a 3-minute drive from Poole train station and five minutes from the coast.
