Rooms
Each of the hotel’s 72 rooms is decorated in the typical aBode style which blends elements of the building’s original character with contemporary decor and quite often, a wall of striking feature wallpaper. Rooms are all equipped with modern amenities including air conditioning, complimentary Wi-Fi and a flat-screen TV. From Enviable rooms upwards you’ll also have a complimentary tuck box of local treats, as well as additional space and seating. Bed sizes differ between rooms, with the higher categories having larger beds. Most Enviable and Fabulous rooms have a separate free-standing, roll-top bath in addition to a wet room shower.
Location
aBode Canterbury is situated on the attractive, pedestrian-only High Street, directly opposite The Beaney House of Art & Knowledge and adjacent to several popular shops and cafés. It is less than a five-minute walk to the cathedral, and even closer to Greyfriar’s Gardens which sit on the banks of the Great Stour River.
Food and drink
The hotel’s front-facing champagne bar provides an elegant space to sit and people watch, while the separate Old Brewery Tavern on the adjoining street has a convivial atmosphere, with live music and classic pub food. The hotel’s main County Restaurant serves a modern European menu of local fish and meat dishes, all beautifully presented.
