3-star Victorian hotel with royal heritage and hilltop views

Hotel Overview & Location

Overlooking Tunbridge Wells Common, The Royal Wells Hotel is a 3-star Victorian hotel that owes its name to Queen Victoria, who frequently stayed here as a young princess in the early 19th century. The property sits in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a short walk downhill from the town centre. Free on-site parking is available for all guests.

Rooms

Each room is individually designed and furnished with antiques, offering en suite bathrooms and tea and coffee making facilities. Some rooms include special touches such as copper bathtubs. Guests can also opt for the 'Skip the Clean' green initiative to reduce environmental impact.

Dining

The hotel has two on-site restaurants: The Conservatory Restaurant, with an intimate lounge bar, and the newly refurbished Chalybeate Restaurant, both using locally sourced produce. Three bars are available, including The Ephraim Bar and The Wells Bar, which offer an extensive list of drinks and casual dining. A light-filled orangery provides an additional dining space.

Entertainment & Pet-Friendly

Weekly live music events take place on Saturday nights, offering entertainment for guests. The hotel is dog-friendly, with specific regulations, allowing guests to bring their pets. Designated smoking areas and a variety of board games are also available for guest use.
