Burlington Hotel, BW Premier Collection by Best Western

3-5 Earls Avenue,  Folkestone,  CT20 2HR

A charming Victorian hotel in Folkestone

Folkestone has reinvented itself around its clifftop setting and thriving creative quarter, while the Leas promenade remains the place to take it all in, a grand Victorian walkway overlooking the English Channel. The Burlington Hotel sits proudly above it in Folkestone's quieter West End, just a short stroll from the town's attractions and seafront landmarks.


The Leas is right outside, and on a clear day you can see across the water to France. From here, it's an easy walk to Leas Cliff Hall, the Lower Leas Coastal Park and the vibrant Harbour Arm, now home to independent food outlets, galleries and events throughout the year. Many upgraded rooms offer partial sea views, adding to the hotel's coastal charm.


Dine on modern British cuisine at the Bay Tree Bar & Grill before unwinding with a cocktail in relaxed surroundings. With the Channel Tunnel terminal nearby and Kent's coastline on the doorstep, the Burlington is equally suited to seaside escapes and onward journeys.


Book your stay at the Burlington Hotel, BW Premier Collection and let the Kent coast set the pace.

My top tip: Take a stroll along The Leas at sunset – the views across the English Channel are fantastic, and you’re just moments from the hotel. For something livelier, head to Folkstone's Harbour Arm and Creative Quarter for independent food, drinks and shops. We’re also ideally placed for onward travel – the Channel Tunnel is around 10 minutes away and the Port of Dover around 20 minutes, making us a great stop before or after travelling to Europe. Travelling with your pet? No problem – we look forward to welcoming your furry companions too!
