Venue History: ABode Canterbury (formerly the County Hotel) launched on 14 September 2006. ABode is a growing collection of lifestyle hotels. The concept is the creation of hotelier Andrew Brownsword (owner of The Bath Priory, Gidleigh Park and Sydney House in Chelsea), in partnership with two-Michelin-starred chef Michael Caines (Gidleigh Park and MC at Abode). Ideally situated inside the ancient city walls and only seconds from Canterbury's boutique shops and world renowned Cathedral. The hotel has 72 bedrooms and is perfectly placed for exploring this historic town and rural Kent.
Other information: The entrance to ABode Canterbury features a contemporary glass frontage leading to a tranquil reception area with beautiful limestone flooring leading through to the Restaurant beyond. Just beside the reception area, separated by glazed doors, you will find the buzzing atmosphere of the MC Champagne and Cocktail Bar. Throughout the hotel there are reminders of the building's heritage, including oak-beamed ceilings, fine wooden panelling and beautiful cornicing. The MC Fine Dining restaurant accommodates up to 70 covers. Separating the main restaurant and bar area, there is an impressive wall of wine'. ABode Canterbury also boasts its own chef's table' where guests can see behind the scenes in the kitchen.
