]]> The view from Bay Torbay Hotel looks a little different at the minute, a 60m observation wheel has been erected in Princess Gardens opposite the Bay Torbay Hotel, don’t worry views from the hotel have not been obscured.

The 365 tonne wheel was completed in four days by eleven highly trained staff and has come straight from London’s Victoria Park Olympic celebrations. It is open to the public from 10am to 10pm until 31st October.

From the wheel you will be able to take in stunning views over the bay and on a clear day you can see for miles. From the wheel you can see over to Paignton and Brixham.

The ride will last approximately 12 minutes and passengers can hear commentary on Torbay’s history, events and attractions.

Within Torbay we have four hotels namely, Bay Torbay (Torquay), Bay Tor Park (Torquay), Bay Trecarn (Babbacombe) and Bay Esplanade (Paignton) each of these hotels offer weekend and midweek breaks throughout the year.

]]> Right in the heart of beautiful Torquay, the Torbay Hotel benefits from a great location overlooking the lovely harbour. The recently repainted hotel has grand features enhanced by warm surroundings and includes front facing rooms with modern facilities – the Premier and Superior rooms are particularly desirable. It has a large ballroom, two bars, an indoor heated swimming pool and a sun terrace.

A new cafe and lounge have been added last year for guests to enjoy a drink or snacks in comfortable surroundings. The hotel is also within easy walking distance of the town centre’s shops, boutiques and restaurants.


“Smashing stay Again!”
“Yet another smashing weekend at this well positioned hotel right on the seafront but close to the town centre. Frequent bus services from immediately outside the hotel make getting around very easy. Good food served by a hard working and happy waitress, quickly served. Despite being mobility impaired I have found the hotel relatively easy to get around. My good sized bedroom, situated immediately opposite the lift on the 3rd floor was easy to access. See you all soon again, well done.”
