This property has undergone major work in late 2007, transforming it into a modern and luxurious accommodation with 19 state-of-the-art conference rooms and 179 sumptuous bedrooms. Guests are welcomed in a lobby with 24-hour reception and check-out service. The hotel provides currency exchange facilities, a cloakroom, lift access and room and laundry services. All conference rooms feature air conditioning, up-to-the-minute AV facilities, WLAN Internet access and the services of a dedicated Events Team to ensure the smooth running of all events. For dining and drinks, guests can enjoy the fantastic brasserie-style restaurant Horizon, as well as Costa Coffee and the more informal sports bar with pool table, Quench. There is free car-parking available for 400 cars.

The hotel is located close to Junction 9 of the M20 motorway, just minutes from the Eurostar terminal and only 36 minutes from London by high-speed train. By car: From the north, take the M25 clockwise to Junction 3. Then take the M20 towards Dover. Leave the M20 at Junction 9, taking the third exit signposted Ashford/Canterbury - do not follow the signs for International Station. At the first roundabout, turn left - the hotel is 200 yards along on the left-hand side.

The menus have been devised by the top chefs. Whether guests choose to eat in the Horizon Restaurant or in the more relaxed Lounge, their taste buds will thank them.
