Carramore Residential Hotel

Carramore Residential Hotel is a former infirmary that has been converted into a residential hotel. It was built in the 1840s and features white stock brick, partly rendered, with a slate roof. The building stands two storeys high on a plinth and has a string course above the ground floor windows. It is accented by rusticated quoins that support a cornice parapet over a double-pitched roof, which has stacks at the rear left and right.

The front facade has a regular arrangement of five glazing bar sash windows with cornices on the first floor, the central window topped with a pediment. The ground floor has four glazing bar sash windows, each with bracketted cornices. Central double doors are topped with a rectangular fanlight and a bracketted cornice, leading up four steps with swept rails. To the right, there is a two-storey extension featuring two glazing bar sash windows in moulded surrounds on each floor.

The property was acquired in 1849 by Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin and his associates and opened as a Seamen's Infirmary, under the patronage of the Duchess of Kent. Initially intended as a temporary facility, it operated as an infirmary until the establishment of Ramsgate General Hospital across the road in 1908/9. After that, it served as a girl's home before becoming a hotel.
