Elegant Folkestone escape overlooking the English Channel
The Burlington Hotel, Folkestone, Kent, UK
New deal
Property details
- Get set for adventure: Whether Kent is your final destination or you’re enjoying a spoiling stopover on the way out to the Continent, The Burlington Hotel is ideally placed for exploring. The setting, right on the famous Leas Promenade, is ideal for sunset strolls up and down Folkestone’s chic West End, with endless views out across the English Channel.
- Historical elegance: Built in the 1890s, the hotel has masses of Victorian charm, though has been given a thoroughly modern facelift. Rooms are bright and modern with comfy beds and chairs, patterned wallpapers, flatscreen TVs and space to spread out. More indulgent options are ideal for special occasions, though all promise a good night’s sleep.
- A meal to remember: Treat yourself in the hotel’s delicious Bay Tree restaurant, where premium drinks accompany delicious dishes packed with local ingredients from Kent – the so-called ‘Garden of England’. Sit amongst the fragrant herb garden on the patio or enjoy the smart dining room. For a more informal (and pet friendly) place to dine, try the relaxing lounge bar, which serves drinks and, for a special treat, sumptuous afternoon teas.
How to get there
The hotel is located under a mile from Folkestone station, a 25-minute drive from Ashford International and about 15 minutes’ drive from the Eurotunnel Le Shuttle station – the ideal spot if you’re heading out to France on an adventure.

Location and what's nearby
The Burlington Hotel, 3-5 Earls Ave, Folkestone CT20 2HR
Perhaps a surprising day out is Port Lympne, a safari park nestled in the Kentish ‘savannah’, boasting giraffes, big cats, rhinos, red pandas and more – a fun day out for all the family. You can even enjoy a slap-up lunch or a scrumptiously spoiling afternoon tea; the park is about 20 minutes’ drive from Folkestone.
With a car at your disposal you can hop along the coastal roads, dipping in and out of the area’s beautiful seaside resorts: how about laid-back Deal, where you’ll find fresh seafood, craft ales, wooden fishing boats and vintage shops brimming with treasures. Don’t miss a scoop (or three) from Solley’s Ice Cream – an old-fashioned parlour with 15 flavours of creamy deliciousness.
