Spend the weekend
Residence One is a refined Grade I Listed building at the heart of Royal William Yard. It’s a one-off and visitors can spend the night as the building is converted into 14 stylish boutique rooms by Bistrot Pierre at Royal William Yard.
The building was constructed in around 1830 to the plans of John Rennie Jnr. It was designed to provide four storeys of comfortable residences for the Royal Navy’s Officer classes.
Overlooking the open grassy spaces of The Green, it combines loads of unique original features and a stunning secret garden with a spectacular sea view.
