voco The Clifton Folkestone by IHG

Perched atop the Leas Cliff with sweeping views over the English Channel, voco The Clifton Folkestone features 78 beautifully appointed en suite bedrooms, many of which offer sea-facing vistas.

Originally built in 1864, the Clifton Hotel has undergone a comprehensive renovation of all guest rooms and bathrooms, evoking the charm of the elegant Victorian era. Today, contemporary comforts blend seamlessly with historic character, and the hotel is home to Marco Pierre White's Steakhouse, Bar & Grill Restaurant, Coral Bar & Lounge, along with complimentary WiFi. A drinks terrace overlooks the well-tended Clifton Gardens. Following the refurbishment, each room at voco The Clifton is exquisitely equipped with modern amenities, including air conditioning, bathrooms featuring both Rainforest and traditional showers, anti-mist mirrors, and built-in electric toothbrush chargers as standard. All rooms come with smart TVs, a work desk, and a safe.

Folkestone is known for hosting Europe’s largest urban art exhibition, the Creative Quarter, and the vibrant Harbour Arm. With the Eurotunnel just a 10-minute drive away and Dover Ferry Port 20 minutes from the hotel, it's an ideal base for exploring the countryside or mainland Europe. The Leas Cliffs provide stunning views across to France, while the Folkestone White Horse and the Battle of Britain Memorial are only 10 minutes away. The hotel is also a short stroll from Folkestone town centre, recognized as the world’s first Music Town.

Couples especially love the location, giving it a 9.5 rating for two-person trips.
