Amenities & Facilities
Thanington Hotel has an indoor swimming pool open all year, along with an on-site spa offering a range of beauty treatments. The hotel provides free parking on a first-come, first-served basis, and guests with limited mobility can use accessible parking and facilities. A relaxing garden with outdoor furniture and a cozy bar with a TV area offer spaces to unwind after a day out.
Rooms & Accommodations
All en suite rooms include flat-screen TVs, desks, and tea/coffee making facilities. Some rooms feature four-poster beds, and family rooms are set up as two connecting spaces with twin beds and a king-size bed. Ground-floor rooms are available on request, though the hotel has no lift.
Dining
Each morning the hotel serves a buffet breakfast with both continental and cooked options, using fresh ingredients such as quality sausages and bacon.

Canterbury Cathedral and the historic city center are a 15-minute walk from the hotel. The Marlowe Theatre is a 16-minute walk away, and Canterbury East Station is about 10 minutes on foot. Free on-site parking is a practical advantage, as city-center parking is limited.
