Originally a private Georgian residence, this three story bedroom property stands directly opposite Canterbury's ancient walls, a stone's throw from the city center. Each of the traditional, brightly decorated guestrooms is named after a character from one of Chaucer's novels. All include dark wood furnishings, cable televisions, and direct dial telephones.
The hotel's main restaurant, 63 Ivy Lane, serves contemporary British cuisine with a French influence and features an extensive wine list. The less formal Pilgrim's Bar features a brassiere style menu and summer seating on the terrace. Other amenities include complimentary parking, room service, and conference rooms for events or meetings. Canterbury's famous cathedral is less than one half mile from the hotel; Dover Castle is 13 miles away and the Channel Tunnel, 16 miles. Gatwick Airport is 72 miles from the hotel, or 120 minutes by car.
