About this property
Situated just 10 minutes' drive from the Channel Tunnel Terminal, this traditional sea-facing hotel is situated on The Leas, Folkestone's cliff-top promenade. With a 24-hour reception, free parking and free WiFi throughout, it is a 15-minute drive from Dover's Port. Many bedrooms at The Carlton have good sea views, and all are en suite and comfortable. All rooms feature a TV and tea/coffee making facilities. Daily cleaning services are included. The hotel's Leas Restaurant specialises in offering tasty, good-value meals at breakfast and dinner. The hotel's chef will be happy to cater for guests with special dietary requirements if advised in advance. After dinner, guests can relax in the cosy surroundings of the Leas Bar, which overlooks the beautiful landscape of Folkestone and the English Channel. Entertainment is also offered, and live music and dancing are available 3 nights a week. Carlton Hotel is about 175 metres from Leas Cliff Hall theatre, and about 500 metres from the town centre. We now have two advanced electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, each equipped with dual charging ports. This setup allows us to charge up to four vehicles simultaneously, ensuring efficient and convenient charging for multiple EV owners. These state-of-the-art charging points are designed to support fast charging, reducing wait times and providing a seamless experience for drivers. Whether for public use or private facilities, this dual-station configuration is a significant step toward supporting the growing adoption of electric vehicles and promoting sustainable transportation.
