Hotels & Leisure

Maidstone has a thriving night time economy which makes for interesting investment opportunities for those in this line of work and for an enjoyable and fun time out for residents and those travelling into town to enjoy the nightlife.

Lockmeadow provides a focus for a younger audience, with nightclubs, bars, restaurants and a multiplex cinema.  Ample parking close by enables good access and good taxi services and night buses facilitate everyone to get home. 

Earl Street offers a different marketing opportunity with its proximity to the Hazlitt Arts Centre and this is where a number of restaurants have chosen to locate, providing a more sophisticated cultural atmosphere.

Because of the popularity of this destination and its infrastructure opportunities exist within the town for expansion of businesses related to entertainment and socialising.

Maidstone Borough Council has made provision within the local development framework specifically for new hotels.  These are listed below.  However, if you are interested in the current hotel stock, what is on locally or visiting local attractions Maidstone has a dedicated tourism website  www.vistmaidstone.com
