The Desirable rooms are just that, slightly larger, slightly more desirable, for whatever reason. Extra features include king-size or twin Vi-Spring beds, and bath and shower. The Most Desirable rooms are even more spacious in size and luxury, and include a complimentary tuck box containing a variety of delicious snacks and organic juices.

- The Enviable rooms are simply beautiful. Each is unique, with completely individual features including solid oak flooring, luxurious Vi-Spring super-king size beds, en-suite facilities, luxurious velour bathrobes and much more. These spacious rooms with their own sitting area are what others might call a junior suite.

It has its own spacious lounge area with 42" plasma TV, Bose entertainment system, large L-shaped sofa, title magazines, complimentary tuck box containing a variety of snacks and organic juices.

The bedroom boasts a luxurious Vi-spring hand-crafted super king size bed, changing area with walk-in wardrobe, integrated bathroom with free-standing bath tub, separate walk-in shower, luxurious bathrobes, slippers and bespoke toiletries.

Dining
- Michael Caines at ABode Canterbury
- The Michael Caines Restaurant is the stunning centrepiece of Abode Canterbury food and beverage operations. The beautifully designed dining room, with 70 covers, combines classic elegance with modern style. With its glass-fronted Wine Room, private Chef's Table in the kitchen area, and adjoining Champagne and Cocktail Bar, it is a truly fabulous addition to the Canterbury dining scene.
- Michael Caines Champagne and Cocktail Bar
- The Michael Caines Champagne and Cocktail Bar has quickly become one of Canterbury's most fashionable and popular places. The setting is stunning, the city centre location convenient day or night, and the Champagnes and cocktails are simply the best in town. We offer an extensive choice of Champagnes by the glass, bottle, magnum or larger bottle size, and ranging from the excellent house MC Champagne through the best-known grandes marques, as well as vintage and deluxe cuve Champagnes. Whatever the occasion, Champagne is a wine that uniquely makes us feel special. Come visit us and enjoy a flte or bottle, served with Michael Caines style.
- Old Brewery Tavern at ABode Canterbury
- The Old Brewery Tavern may look back to historical antecedents, but it is wholly contemporary in design, outlook, approach and style. With its striking sliding glass windows that allow us to open to the sunshine whenever it may appear, and with its decking and bright modern furnishings, the courtyard area of the Old Brewery Tavern is anything but 'old' in feel. A comfortable, more discrete lounge area contrasts this, with its warm modern fireplace, while wooden tables and chairs in the central area retain the feel of traditional British pub. At nighttimes, the atmosphere changes completely, all over again, with atmospheric lighting, live music and DJ nights. Outdoors, a heated 'jumbrella' ensures ensures a warm and convivial atmosphere, all year round, whatever the weather.

Disappointed
Although the hotel seems empty we still got a room above the High Street and not in the back of the hotel. There was a LOT of noise on the street during the night so not a good night sleep. Not sure our room assignment had anything to do with us using 'points / miles' for this stay or the fact it was just me and my 12 yr old daughter. Good breakfast. 2 car parks with first come, first serve, 1 of those is more secure than the other and therefor more popular. Lots of restaurants nearby. Recommend the hotel for location near cathedral and city centre, bit expensive, room and bed average size, not very big. ASK FOR ROOM IN THE BACK!

Very nice place to stay
This hotel is a great place to stay when visiting the Canterbury area. It is right in the tourist area and within walking distance of may attractions. There is also transportation options within a half mile of the hotel that provides access to other areas of England and the European continent.

This is the place to stay if you
This is the place to stay if you visit Canterbury. It is within the city walls so there is no need for your car or public transportation. The staff could not have been more helpful. I was a single women traveling alone and felt very safe. The food at the restaurant was amazing.

Très bon personnel. Restaurant
Très bon personnel. Restaurant cher (pour le dîner) et la nourriture est prétentieuse mais en fait c'est très moyen et les portions sont petites. J'y ai mangé une fois mais je n'aurai plus envie d'y retourner. Le petit déjeuner est très moyen pour un hôtel de 4 étoiles. Peu de variété de pain. Les sandwichs et snacks dans le bar ne sont plus servis à partir de 18h - c'est bien dommage. Peu d'équipements pour ranger dans la chambre. Avantages : Emplacement en centre ville, Internet wifi, climatisation individuelle. Personnel à l'accueil et dans le bar très agréable. Produits de toilette (savon, shampoing, crème) de qualité dans la salle de bains.
