JD Wetherspoon has announced the opening on a new hotel at The Thomas Ingoldsby, in Canterbury on the 29 May following a £2.5m refurbishment project.
The ground floor customer area of the pub, which originally opened as a Wetherspoon pub in April 1997, has been refurbished, with a new first floor dining area also added.
The new 13-bedroom hotel is located on the second floor of the property. The hotel rooms can accommodate a mixture of double, twin and family occupancy and also features an accessible room suitable for guests with disabilities.
Each of the rooms features an en-suite bathroom, tea and coffee-making facilities, hair dryer, flat-screen television with Freeview TV and unlimited free Wi-Fi, as well as digital air-conditioning and temperature control.
Artwork by local artists is also on display, including an original ink and wash by David Arbus, a limited-edition print by Kent-based Graham Lock and limited-edition artwork by Anna Allworthy.
Pub manager Ali Stevenson said: “Wetherspoon has spent £2.5million on the pub refurbishment and new hotel, in the heart of the city centre. The project has created more jobs for local people and provided further investment into the area.
“The new 13-bedroom hotel is a wonderful addition to the pub and we are confident that it will also be a great addition to the Canterbury community.”
