About THE NICI Collection

THE NICI Collection is a luxury lifestyle hotel group inspired by some of the world's most iconic destinations, bringing exceptional hospitality, outstanding food and drink, and unforgettable guest experiences to some of the UK's most desirable locations.

What began with THE NICI Bournemouth, our original flagship hotel inspired by the glamour and energy of Miami's South Beach, has grown into an exciting collection of destination-led properties. In June 2026, the collection expanded with the opening of THE NICI Newquay, inspired by Italy's Amalfi Coast, and THE NICI New Forest, influenced by the luxury and charm of the Hamptons.

This expansion marks a significant milestone for THE NICI Collection—but it's only the beginning.
