Lovingly converted from a Grade II-listed mansion, Hotel du Vin Tunbridge Wells boasts a certain character and charm, just like the very town in which it stands. In fact, the hotel has become a bit of an institution in Tunbridge Wells and is a well-known architectural landmark. The interiors have amplified the beautiful, authentic Georgian period detail with injections of modern character throughout.

Stroll in the beautiful gardens, enjoy the clink of glasses on the terrace or dine al fresco with wonderful views across lush lawns to the ornamental gardens of Calverley Park. Take afternoon tea in the lounge or flop into a leather sofa with your favourite tipple. We recommend exploring the extensive wine list in the infamous Burgundy Bar! Celebrate a family get-together or get wed in one of the quirky, private rooms. Relax with a digestif and fine cigar in the atmospheric Cigar Bothy.

Tuck in to tasty, seasonal dishes in Bistro du Vin, or dig in to the recently launched brunch menu trialling at three hotels within the chain (including Harrogate and Stratford Upon Avon). Available on Saturdays from 11 am-2 pm, brunch dishes range from Eggs Benedict or Avo’ on Toast to crêpes plus a classic selection of champagne cocktails.

There are 34 unique bedrooms (complete withamonsoon shower or roll-top bath) and if you’ve got a four-legged friend,he or she can come toofor an extra £20 per night. Visit in the day and man’s best friend will be welcomed in the hotel’s striking lounge, bar and pretty terrace area out the back. Stay the night and your pooch will be provided with a dog bed, bowl and doggie treat.

As well as being next door to the pretty Calverley Grounds, Hotel du Vin Tunbridge Wells is moments from the town’s best shops and theatres. Potter down to The Pantiles for a brilliant selection of boutiques and cafes – or head a little further afield to explore the nearby South Downs National Park.
