You wake up to the murmur of England's dramatic sea and landscapes, its ancient castles and cathedrals. You wake up inspired. Godspeed intrepid explorer!
The Hythe Imperial Hotel is a grand Victorian mansion seated on the coast of the English Channel. Surrounded by the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a short drive from the Dover-Folkestone Heritage Coast with the soaring White Cliffs of Dover, England’s spectacular land and seascapes really are at its doorstep.
Rooms are individually designed, many with sea or golf course views and all with free Wi-Fi and smart TVs. Suites include the Belcourt with 180-degree sea views and a roll-top bath. Fresh fish and seafood features on the menu at the award-winning Coast Restaurant, whilst The Holy Pundit’s bold flavours are typical of Indian fusion cooking.
Uniquely, the Hythe Imperial Hotel’s health club features a comprehensive fitness class timetable and a dedicated personal training team. Caudalie treatments pamper guests with essential oils, plant extracts and aromatic balms. The 18-hole golf course offers breathtaking views of the English Channel and the Royal Military Canal.
Hop aboard Kent’s ‘mainline in miniature’ at Hythe to explore some of the county’s iconic natural landscapes, or take a walk on the wild side at Kent’s only safari experience, Port Lympne Reserve. The Hythe Imperial Hotel’s enviable position puts it in close proximity to Dover Ferry Port, Eurostar, Ashford International and Canterbury. Wake up to 4-star Victorian grandeur right on the seafront.

Cuisine at the Coast isn't over-elaborate - the head chef lets each dish's local flavours 'walk the walk' (on your taste buds). The à la carte menu portions modern British cuisine by ‘The Sea,’ ‘The Land’ and ‘The Garden’ - a charming reminder that you’re surrounded by nature here in the Garden of England. Savour dishes prepared using the season's finest local ingredients, allowing the quality and flavour to shine through. Start with a seafood platter to share before moving on to sea bass. Or choose from the grill, with meats accompanied by portobello mushrooms, cherry vine tomatoes, fries and bearnaise sauce. To finish, the presentation of apples - tart tatin, apple sorbet, apple crumble and apple jelly - is delicious.
Please reserve a table for dinner in advance.
A chilli and dark chocolate brownie, with organic rose petal ice cream, chocolate and garam masala reduction. “How does that work?” Ahha, this is the secret to The Holy Pundit's success. Melding traditional Indian cooking with innovative European techniques, The Holy Pundit is a fusion restaurant through and through. As you enter, you can’t help but notice its strikingly upholstered sofas and purple-painted walls. Bold, explosive flavours are matched by equally confident décor. Order a large glass of Davenport Vineyards Horsmonden, whose grapes are organically grown on Kentish soil, whilst choosing from the menu - a starter from the tandoor, perhaps, followed by the Kerala-style wild boar stew and topped off with said chocolate brownie? Come summer, open the patio doors and The Holy Pundit's outdoor terrace mixes sunbeams with spice. Not your everyday curry house.
Please reserve your table in advance.
Picture the scene... You've spent a glorious day exploring Kent's heritage coast, or perhaps you've been tucked up in the spa. It's now officially l'heure de l'apéro (the French version of the cocktail hour). And so it is that Moët & Chandon invite you to sit down, relax and whet your appetite before the focal point of the evening - dinner. Take a sea view seat and a glass of chilled Moët, or 'liquid luxury' as it’s aptly called. Browse the champagne, cocktail and tapas menus and choose from a selection of delicious sharing plates and complementing drinks. Is there anything more perfect than deliberating between a glass of Ice Imperial Rosé (served over ice, the latest way to enjoy your champagne) and a French martini, perhaps with a side of scallops, or some local rock oysters?
Don’t miss the opportunity to indulge in afternoon tea whilst staying in this glorious setting - savour homemade scones with fruit preserve and cream, sandwiches, cakes and a pot of tea (more than 10 selections available). Both traditional afternoon tea and champagne afternoon tea are available to order, served in Victorian-style china and enjoyed in the afternoon tea parlour overlooking the gardens. Afternoon tea can be booked in advance, at a special price, when booking your room via ClassicBritishHotels.com.
Whether it's beef, chicken, or cod loin, all cooked to perfection by an award-winning team, Sunday roast is a favourite classic British tradition of ours. Start with a leisurely lap of the pool, and finish on the sweet-toothed note - chocolate tart served with salted caramel ice cream. Mmmake Sunday your sabbath. Dip and dine on the Kent Coast at the Hythe Imperial.

Highly experienced, ESPA-trained therapists pamper with sensuous treatments including ‘in expert hands’ (an age-defying facial) and holistic therapies such as reflexology and Indian head massage. There are five treatment suites, a hot stone relaxation area, a quiet area, and a lounge area where guests can enjoy a glass of chilled champagne or a light lunch. The health club features a heated indoor pool and an air-conditioned Life Fitness gymnasium with the latest cardio equipment.
A full range of spa treatments, using ESPA products, are available to book.
Set in the Kent Downs, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Hythe Imperial Golf Club enjoys breathtaking sea views. The 9-hole, 18-tee track is bounded on one side by the English Channel and on the other by the Napoleonic Royal Military Canal. Hard-to-gauge coastal winds and strategically placed bunkers make this gem of a course a unforgiving yet rewarding challenge.
