Map & Directions
The A259 is a couple of minutes' drive from the hotel, and Junction 11 of the M20 is 10 minutes' drive away. Hythe railway station is five minutes' drive or 25 minutes' walk away. Parking is free.
Overview
The Hythe Imperial hotel is a 4-star retreat set along Hythe's stretch of shingle beach in Kent. The property was constructed in 1880 as a railway hotel, and is now coming to the end of a long-term bedroom renovation project.
Hythe belongs to The Confederation of Cinque Ports -- a collection of maritime towns that once provided military support to The Crown. Reminders of Hythe's past are everywhere -- the Royal Military Canal runs just behind the hotel. Keep an eye out for the Martello Towers, which were built as a defence against a Napoleonic invasion. Sandgate Castle is also less than 10 minutes' drive or 45 minutes' walk away.
You can hop on the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway -- a 13-mile-long line with miniature steam and diesel trains -- which has been running between Hythe and Dungeness for almost a century. Romney Marsh, an expanse of 100 square miles once submerged beneath the English Channel, now dotted with towns, is two miles west of the hotel. The hilltop town of Rye is 40 minutes' drive away, and Dover is 20 minutes' drive.
"This imposing seafront hotel is enhanced by impressive grounds including a 13-green golf course and pleasing gardens," according to The AA Hotel Guide 2017. Other facilities include a gym, a spa, a Jacuzzi, a sauna and a swimming pool.
You can sample seasonal British cuisine in the AA-Rosette-awarded Coast Restaurant, or dine in the in-house Indian restaurant. The Moët & Chandon Bar, opened in 2016, operates Wednesday-Sunday, and serves a variety of wines and cocktails.
From the press:
- "This elegant hotel with a rich history stands looking out across the Channel from its prominent position on the seafront" -- The AA Hotel Guide 2017

As well as the lovely room they also thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast too - said they would definitely go back!

No. It was pretentious and did not live up to it's own hype.

Hot air heating in room meaning the air was either a hot dry wind or when turned off freezing cold. The duvet was cheap polyester, which had no wicking quality at all. Last but not least the mattress was cheap, therefore bouncy which meant my husband spent the night on the floor so I could get some sleep. I suggest this hotel gets buying advice from the Madjeski Reading where we spent the previous 2 nights and had an excellent nights sleep.

Stay spoilt by the building work taking place. The hotel needs to have separate parking for residents only. Parts of hotel smartly done, others a bit tatty. Residents had to use back door which smelt very odd and not nice, it was also quite dirty. The bar seating was dirty and along with scaffolding blocking window views, it did not come over as a relaxing experience. Room was very nice but no soap in the shower dispenser and no teabags replenished for our second day. The food was excellent and the staff even better and we would stay again but when the scaffolding and building work have ended.

I signed up for a Bollywood Blast Indian Dance class on the Friday morning in the Leisure centre which I would recommend very highly. Minal was a wonderful teacher and it was really fun! If we lived in Hythe I would definitely do the course.

Fantastic location on the seafront with beautiful gardens. The hotel has been recently renovated to a high standard and the executive double with sea view was excellent. We dined in the Holy Pundit Indian restaurant within the hotel which had a great choice of dishes very different from 'typical' curries. All in all I would definitely recommmend the Hythe Imperial especially with a Travelzoo offer!!

The room was clean and fresh but the fan didn't work in the bathroom, neither did the light around the mirror or the small adjustable mirror. The shelf above the sink is high which means the mirrors are situated a bit high for ease of use. However the bathroom was clean and fresh and the shower was good.
