Description
The Royal Wells Hotel in Tunbridge Wells, is in the perfect location, situated in the centre of Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, and a stones throw from High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The hotel owes its regal title to Queen Victoria, who visited the Royal Wells often as a young Princess in the early 19th century. She later granted the use of her coat of arms, which is proudly displayed at the top of the building. It has recently undergone an extensive refurbishment, incorporating the latest facilities and contemporary style, while retaining the original Victorian elegance and period features.
So, whether visiting for business or pleasure, take time out to discover why the Royal Wells Hotel is your ideal getaway destination.
