Built in 1760 and a former residence of Charles Dickens.
The hotel started life as the "Phoenix"
but was renamed in 1805 in honour of Nelson's victory at Trafalgar.
William Payton was also the brewer of the Albion Brewery, probably on the
premises.
In 1958 bed and Breakfast was 25 shillings. Next door, the Omar Cafe was
renowned for its bespoke Omar Khayyam wallpaper.

Stephen Reader, carrier, of Broadstairs, was charged with remaining
on the footpath and steps of the "Royal Albion Hotel," and using bad
and abusive language.
Mr. Wright, the complainant, deposed to the circumstances; about
which there was no doubt. The only extenuation, if such it might he
termed, was, that the defendant was intoxicated at the time; though
this he denied to the bench.
He was fined 21s. 9d. including costs, which he paid after I some
grumbling.
