Maidstone Hotels

Maidstone is the handsome county town of Kent. Home to a modest population of 140,000 people, the delightful community is a mere 50 km from London. While the River Medway no longer serves as Maidstone’s economic lifeblood, the waterway very much defines the former mill town. As a result, the river is a prominent hive of activity, most notably for flocks of annual tourists who look to Maidstone for a small town charm fix. Important landmarks in Maidstone proper include the Tyrwhitt-Drake Carriage Museum in the former Archbishop's Palace, Leeds Castle, All Saints Church and the impressive Museum of Kent Life.
