Historic City Centre Hotel in Canterbury

This small and friendly four-star hotel enjoys a fantastic setting within Canterbury’s ancient city walls, only minutes away from the World Heritage Site of Canterbury Cathedral.

The hotel traces its history back to time times of Chaucer, thanks to the 12^th-century cellars and the 15^th-century public areas. The rooms, however, offer the facilities and comfort of the present. At the rear of the hotel, where weary travellers once tethered their horses, there is a level parking space for up to 60 cars, while the Tudor Bar is the perfect meeting point. Guests will also find links to the public transport network just metres from the hotel.

The hotel offers guests a total of 72 rooms. At the accommodation, travellers are welcomed with a 24-hour reception and a 24-hour check-in/check-out service. Most storeys are accessible by lift, including those with accessible rooms. Amenities include a cloakroom and a safe. Wireless internet access allows guests to stay connected. Among the culinary options available at the establishment are a restaurant, a dining area, a breakfast room, a café, a bar and a pub. Additional services include room service and a laundry service.
