Big Boost To Tourism In Kent As Dover Marina Hotel & Spa Joins Tapestry Collection By Hilton Following Multi-Million-Pound Transformation

After nearly 200 years as a cherished coastal landmark, the Grade II-listed Dover Marina Hotel & Spa is entering a bold new chapter as part of the prestigious Tapestry Collection by Hilton. Following a multi-million-pound restoration, the hotel unveils an inspired blend of Regency-era elegance and contemporary comforts — offering guests a one-of-a-kind experience on the edge of the English Channel.

Overlooking the world-famous White Cliffs of Dover, the hotel’s meticulous refurbishment has revived its architectural grandeur while introducing refined interiors that reflect a Britain rooted in heritage yet open to the world. Every detail has been considered to create a destination that feels both timeless and distinctly modern.

A New Chapter in Coastal Elegance

Guests will discover:

• 122 elegantly re-imagined guest rooms, many with panoramic sea views — ideal for sunrise coffee or moonlit reflection.
• Marco Pierre White’s Mr. White’s English Chophouse, celebrating classic British cuisine with a fresh, modern twist.
• The Churchill Bar, where British legacy meets contemporary style in a warm, inviting atmosphere.
• The rejuvenated Waterfront Spa, offering seven serene treatment rooms, a sauna, steam room, spa pool and fully equipped, state-of-the-art, gym.

An Invitation to Rediscover Dover

“This rebranding is more than a milestone — it’s our invitation to guests from near and far to rediscover Dover in a new light,” said Pradeep Wijesinghe, General Manager, Dover Marina Hotel & Spa. “As part of Tapestry Collection by Hilton, we are honouring our remarkable history while crafting unforgettable experiences that speak to the heart as much as the palate. From the views to the dining to the spa indulgences, every element has been designed to delight.”

A Gateway to Britain’s Past and Future

As the first Hilton-branded hotel in Dover, the property is set to become a cornerstone of the town’s tourism renaissance, welcoming international travellers, cruise passengers and discerning local guests alike. Perfectly positioned between heritage and horizon, the Dover Marina Hotel & Spa offers a rare opportunity to experience the romance of Britain’s coast with the sophistication of a world-class brand.

The transformation strengthens Dover’s economy by creating jobs and supporting local businesses, as well as drawing new visitors to the region, promoting Dover and the wider Kent region among travellers and firmly establishing the hotel as a premier destination in Kent.
