  • How long should you stay? KAYAK users usually book their hotel in London for 1 day.
  • If you enjoy historical architecture, make sure to book a hotel next to the Canterbury Cathedral, such as the Canterbury Cathedral Lodge Hotel, which is only a 2-minute walk away. The Canterbury Cathedral is a medieval church that features Gothic-style architecture and has an extensive library that can be toured by visitors.
  • Interested in learning more about this region’s ancient history? Select a hotel next to the Canterbury Roman Museum, such as the Cathedral Gate Hotel, which is located a 3-minute walk away. This museum contains artefacts related to Roman times, as well as the remnants of a Roman house that has been excavated.
  • For travellers that enjoy literature, consider booking a hotel next to the Canterbury Tales, an interactive tour that educates visitors about the famous Chaucer’s tales. The Hawks Lane Lodge is a chic 4-star choice that is only a 3-minute walking from the tour’s meeting point and a 5-minute walk from the popular Whitefriars Canterbury shopping centre.
  • To enjoy some of the city’s scenic green spaces, pick a hotel near the Westgate Gardens, such as the Falstaff Hotel, which is a mere 4-minute walk away. The Westgate Gardens is a large public park that contains a tree that is over 200 years old and a building from the Victorian ages, making it a popular place to both explore and relax.

It's also close to Chartham Railway Station so you can easily travel by train, bus, car or on foot.
