About This Space
The Albion Rooms is an iconic rock and roll seaside venue on Margate's seafront. A gothic, candlelit hotel, bar, and recording studio with one of the most distinctive interiors on the Kent coast.
Whether you are shooting content, recording audio, planning a creative meeting, or looking for a backdrop that does not exist anywhere else in Thanet, there is a space here for you.
Our Spaces
The Bar — A moody, gothic lounge with an ornate gilt fireplace, arched mirror, leather throne chair, candlelight, and bay window seating overlooking the sea. Downstairs, the basement bar offers a grungier vibe with booth seating, fairy lights, vintage posters, checkerboard flooring, and a leopard print performance stage. Perfect for music videos, brand shoots, podcast recordings, and atmospheric portrait work.
The Recording Studio — A fully equipped professional recording studio with warm wooden panelling, red velvet walls, Marshall amps, drum kit, piano, guitars, and a teal velvet sofa. Rich, textured, and designed to sound as good as it looks. Ideal for music content, behind-the-scenes footage, and audio recording.
The Hotel Rooms — Seven individually designed rooms with a gothic black-and-gold aesthetic, ornate chandeliers, leather furniture, and bay windows with sea views. Each room has its own character. Perfect for editorial fashion shoots, lifestyle content, and anything that needs a dramatic, high-end interior. Additional cleaning fee applies if bedding is used.
