The Marine

Seaside Style and Comfort Near the Music

Modern and stylish with a relaxed coastal vibe, The Marine sits proudly on the scenic Tankerton Cliffs, offering stunning views over the Thames Estuary.

Expect bright, spacious rooms with contemporary decor, many featuring balconies or fireplaces, and complimentary WiFi throughout.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music fans appreciate The Marine's peaceful location—far enough from the late-night noise, but still within a 30-minute drive to popular venues in Whitstable, Margate, and Ramsgate. After a high-energy gig, it’s the ideal place to unwind. Flexible check-in from 14:00 gives you time to settle in early, and the scenic setting is a great way to start or end your concert adventure.

Who this Hotel is great for

Food and Drink Options

The Marine offers an on-site à-la-carte restaurant serving dishes made with the best local produce. The bar and lounge serve lunch and dinner with gorgeous sea views, and a hearty breakfast is available each morning—perfect for those who stayed out late. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the relaxed dining hours and walkable local eateries make it easy to grab a bite when you need it.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself is more about chilled-out evenings, you’ll find buzzing bars and pubs in nearby Whitstable—just a short drive or taxi ride away. After a gig, head back for a quiet nightcap by the sea in the hotel lounge, or take in the sunset from your balcony.

What People Say

Guests love the calm seaside setting, spacious rooms, and friendly staff. Reviews highlight the excellent food, particularly the breakfast, and many mention how much they value the hotel’s peaceful atmosphere after a night out. The sea views and stylish room amenities also get consistent praise.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel is a bit outside of the town center, so you’ll likely need a car or taxi for concerts and nightlife. Also, while the hotel has a lovely restaurant, late-night food options are limited onsite—so plan ahead if you're coming back hungry after a show.

The Bottom Line

The Marine is a relaxing, stylish option for concert-goers who want great views, comfort, and a peaceful place to recharge after the music fades.
