Hythe Imperial Hotel

Hythe means ‘haven’ in old English, and that’s what we’ve tried to provide over the years to both travelling guests and the local community. Various refurbishments, facelifts and additions have not distorted our true purpose of making sure people who stay with us get the very best out of this beautiful coastal town. With a rich history beginning in 1880, we have some tales to tell. Royal visits, sporting events and world wars all have played a part in the development of the unique character of the Hythe Imperial, so we feel it’s important to offer anyone who’s interested a bit of our story. With spectacular views over the English Channel, Hythe Imperial is a perfect venue for your meetings and events. With four dedicated and flexible meeting rooms, we can accommodate up to 200 guests. All meeting rooms come equipped with LCD projectors and feature WiFi. Some even boast unrivalled views of the English Channel – providing the perfect backdrop for your event. With its stunning views and extensive grounds, the hotel has plenty of areas to explore and space for delegates to relax and unwind during those essential moments of downtime. Whether it's unwinding in the lounge, letting off steam in the spa, or enjoying a round of golf on our hotel course, speak to one of our event sales team to discuss the range of activities we can provide. To ensure your delegates remain refuelled all day, we can provide a range of fully flexible meeting packages that can be tailored to your individual requirements. For Weddings if you are planning an outdoor ceremony, our new Gazebo and enchanting secret garden is sure to wow your guests and make you feel very special indeed! Our elegantly styled suites including our recently refurbished Imperial Ballroom cater perfectly for those planning to say ‘I do’. We cater to civil ceremonies, traditional church services, civil partnerships and everything in between – every couple is different, so it’s right that every wedding should be. Whether it’s a small private affair or an elaborate event, the Hythe Imperial are here to help ensure every moment is perfect – from table decorations to discos, and appetisers to accommodation. Our dedicated team of event planners are on hand to help make your event unique and offer a range of fully flexible packages that can be tailored to your individual requirements. Each of our function rooms offer a range of backdrops that can add that extra wow factor to your event, including spectacular sea views. The Hythe Imperial is extremely proud to be the home of Moët & Chandon in Kent. Champagne lovers are invited to recline in this ice paradise of a bar, and enjoy with breathtaking views of the seafront with a glass of “the champagne of success and glamour since 1743”. And if you’re peckish, the Moët & Chandon Bar serves a selection of delicious sharing plates paired with champagne. This bar really is a treat and an absolute favourite with guests with a taste for the finer things in life. Here at the Hythe Imperial we understand how difficult and sad it can be when a loved one passes away. Our dedicated professional team are here to help and to ease the burden of arranging a celebration of life for friends and family. We offer a choice of menus and refreshments and accommodate any size of gathering. (If you contact the venue directly please let them know you found them on TheIdealVenue.com)
