Ashford International Hotel & Spa  

Set just off the M20 in Ashford, minutes from Ashford International Station and the Eurostar/Channel Tunnel, this hotel puts London a short drive away (about 36 minutes). Nearby sights include Ashford Museum, St Mary the Virgin Church, Ashford Designer Outlet, Port Lympne Wild Animal Park and Gardens and the Kent Downs. Pet-friendly and easy to reach, it’s a practical base for leisure or transit stays.

The property houses 179 well-appointed bedrooms with flat-screen TVs, desks, safes and private bathrooms with tubs or showers. Décor leans contemporary brasserie-meets-relaxation, with bright public spaces, on-site shops and accessible facilities. Rooms are designed for comfort and convenience whether you’re overnighting before a Eurostar trip or staying for business.

A full-service spa and six treatment rooms sit alongside a 20m indoor pool, Jacuzzi/hot tub, sauna, steam room, fitness centre and relaxation suite. There are indoor and outdoor pool options and even aquapark-style fun listed among on-site leisure features. Other comforts include shopping on site, free Wi‑Fi and 24-hour reception—perfect for wake-up-after-a-spa mornings or late-night arrivals.

A dedicated business centre and 19 state-of-the-art meeting rooms make this a serious conference hotel. Event facilities and conference/banquet space are available, with free self-parking, express check-out and laundry services to keep meetings running smoothly.

Dining choices include the contemporary Horizon Restaurant serving British cuisine and a more informal bar, Quench, plus additional bars and a cafe. Buffet breakfasts are offered and 24-hour room service is available for late arrivals. Expect classic local flavours and brasserie-style dishes on the menu.
