Welcome to The Royal Norfolk Hotel

Eat, drink and stay on the Kent coast

The Royal Norfolk Hotel offers comfortable and well-presented accommodation, with a friendly environment and free parking (limited) for hotel guests. The Hotel Bar serves food throughout the week. Situated just a stone’s throw from Sandgate beach, famous for its fishing and watersports, you may enjoy a leisurely walk along the sea wall, through the lush coastal park, onto the Folkestone Harbour with the vibrant Harbour Arm and Creative Quarter, giving you access to the historic Leas Promenade.

The High-Speed rail link to London St Pancras is available from Folkestone Central and West. The Eurotunnel terminal (Folkestone) and the Port of Dover are all within a short distance from the Royal Norfolk Hotel, making it the perfect stop before your onward journey.

Other local attractions include the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch steam railway, Hythe Canal, Port Lympne Wild Animal Park, Dover and Leeds Castles and Canterbury Cathedral.
