I visited The Spa Hotel to try the new wellness suite, enjoy a facial, and round it all off with afternoon tea, and it was perfect from start to finish. The facilities are spotless, beautifully designed, and the team couldn’t be more welcoming. I felt relaxed the moment I arrived. I made the most of everything: the gym, the pool, and the suite, turning it into a full-on restorative day. Afternoon tea in the Orangery was the perfect finishing touch. I’ll definitely be back soon with my mum to do it all over again!

The team were welcoming, well organised and made the evening run smoothly, which always allows the entertainment side of the day to flow perfectly. A beautiful, well run venue that I’d happily recommend and always enjoy working at. DJoshua Kent Mobile Discos

Just had a wonderful Afternoon Tea experience at the Wellness Suite. It was incredibly luxurious, relaxing and I left feeling fully recharged. I had a 25 min facial which left my skin glowing and I felt so relaxed I almost fell asleep! The gym had everything I needed for both cardio and weight workouts. The wellness suite itself was beautiful. I made the most of everything, from the hydro pool and cold plunge to the steam room and sauna. I wasn't quite brave enough to try the "cold bucket" shower, but something for next time! The afternoon tea was delicious. I did have a few dietary requirements that were met with no hesitation or compromise on taste. Truly delicious. I wouldn't hesitate to come back (and wish I could make it a weekly experience!). I've booked for next year already!

I've stayed a few times now for work and everytime I have a lovely stay. Beds are comfortable, rooms clean, slippers and teapots are a comfortable touch. Nice size rooms. The staff always go above and beyond, I usually eat in the bar and sausage/mash, burger or chicken tagliatelle are all great and breakfast is a great experience. Nice to have a swim and a sauna if I get time too. Always look to book here first if I need to go to area.

My partner and I had the most wonderful experience here on the weekend & night of Saturday night 17th January. The room was exceptional , it really was. We paid for a standard double room and the room we received was so spacious. We had a chairs in it and it was more like a suite in my opinion. What I wish to highlight in this review is the restaurant & their staff. I can not reccomend them highly enough. Every staff member was kind , patient , friendly , their customer service was fantastic & nothing was too much trouble. They made us feel like the only guests in their restaurant. I asked especially could I have a burger and chips , as opposed to the A La Carte menu & I must be honest I felt very bad asking. The chef especially made me a bacon cheeseburger and chips kindly. It was the best burger I've had in my life - it was simply delicious , the meat was tender , the chips with it were unlike any chips I've ever had. I was told the chef makes the chips from scratch - I can personally vouch for the fact that that is true - exceptional! The starters from the A La Carte menu - Wow! The standard was simply so so high , and they were innovative compared to any starter I've ever tried. They tasted better than some top restaurants I've been to in London , master chef level. My partner had gnocchi for his main meal - he was blown away. If you stay at the hotel and do not eat at this restaurant you are seriously missing out ! Do not let that happen ! The pool, sauna and steam room are also great - very well kept , relaxing and again a high standard. Lastly my experience having a wax on Sunday morning ( when we checked out ) was also very very good. I was pampered , and the service was wonderful. I felt so relaxed , looked after I almost fell asleep! Thank you - having had a really stressful few months personally at points it's just the weekend I needed. My partner was very kind to spoil me. I do apologise for not mentioning names here - I loose everything and lost the receipt with the name of of my server - I hope you can find out whoever was working that night serving room 108 and show them this review & the chef Thank you - I can not reccomend this place highly enough - I reccomend it to you unreservedly!

We had the most perfect pre-Christmas day out at The Spa Hotel, and it was exactly what we both needed! We spent time in the new wellness suite, which is beautifully designed and really relaxing, and enjoyed the most wonderful massages! We rounded the day off with afternoon tea in the Orangery, which was absolutely delicious and such a lovely way to finish. They also catered brilliantly for my gluten-free and vegetarian diet, with plenty of choice. A truly restorative day and the perfect festive treat. We'll definitely be back again soon

A Truly Exemplary Stay and Venue for Any Occasion The Spa Hotel in Tunbridge Wells is a truly exceptional venue that exceeded all my expectations. I recently attended a demanding two-day professional conference here, and the facilities, service, and accommodation were all top-notch. First-Class Venue and Facilities From an event perspective, the hotel is simply superb. The conference facilities were clean, well-maintained, and perfectly suited to our professional needs. It's clear that the hotel is an outstanding choice, not just for corporate events like ours, but also for private and social gatherings—the setting itself is beautiful and very welcoming. Modern Comfort and Exemplary Service My room was a peaceful retreat: modern, spacious, and spotlessly clean, offering a comfortable and relaxing space after a long day of meetings. However, the standout feature of my entire stay was the service. Every member of staff I interacted with was exemplary, friendly, and genuinely helpful. The team clearly takes pride in their work, which translated into a seamless and enjoyable experience for all the attendees. In short, if you are looking for a great hotel with fantastic facilities, modern rooms, and service that goes above and beyond, I wholeheartedly recommend the Spa Hotel. It is a brilliant venue for both a personal stay and for hosting a major event.

Food was all delicious. Breakfast staff Kiera delivered 5 star service with a smile on her face, lovely lady and an asset to the hotel. The spa facilities were clean. Spa staff all so polite and welcoming. Carla the therapist would gave both me and my husband a neck, back and shoulder massage was exceptional. Would highly recommend a treatment with her. Only disappointment was from the bed, the mattress was extremely hard and very uncomfortable. Have woken up with a sore back! Really beautiful hotel, situation a 20 min walk from the town. Really enjoyed our 2 night stay, Christmas shopping and relaxing.
