The Tutankhamun Exhibition in Dorchester is one of the town’s most fascinating attractions. Just a short walk from Sleeping Bear Hotels, it recreates the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb and features a world-famous replica of the Pharaoh’s mummy — the first of its kind outside Egypt.
After a day of exploring, you can return to a relaxing base right in the centre of town. Our hotel is designed for simplicity and comfort, with modern rooms, ensuite bathrooms, reliable Wi-Fi and welcoming lounge spaces where you can unwind or catch up on work.
At Sleeping Bear Hotels, we believe a good stay doesn’t need to be complicated. Our rooms are bright, modern and practical, blending comfort with functionality.
