Salthouse Harbour Hotel,

The Salthouse Harbour is the first Four-Star ‘boutique’ hotel in Ipswich and one of the first of the new wave of commercial ventures which are regenerating the Waterfront Area.

Gough Hotels, a family-run chain which also operates The Angel in Bury St Edmunds, recognised the potential of the waterfront area and set about finding a suitable building. The former John Good Building was a late nineteenth century warehouse which had remained largely unaltered, retaining the open floor plans and low ceilings typical of this building type where any height above that which a man can lift a sack of grain is wasted space.
