A hotel has been added to the Raddison group – making it the first of its kind in the county.

The View Hotel in Clifton Road, Folkestone is now part of the global chain’s ‘Individuals’ group, due to its “unique character” and “prime location”.

Owners of The View, Mark Rees and Dave Mellish, believe the new partnership will help the business “reach new heights”.

They said: “We are thrilled to join forces with Radisson Individuals, a brand that shares our passion for delivering extraordinary experiences.

“This partnership will enable us to reach new heights in providing the highest level of service and continue to exceed our guests’ expectations.

“The collaboration will allow The View to tap into the group’s vast resources, including marketing and operational support, cutting-edge technology solutions, and access to a loyal customer base.”

The addition of this new property brings the total number of Radisson Individuals hotels in operation and under development in the UK and Ireland to seven.

Being part of the Individuals brand allows hotels to maintain and promote their characteristics and personalities by focusing on “one-of-a-kind” locations and experiences.

The View Hotel has 46 rooms, views of the English Channel and ground-floor apartments.

Radisson’s Adela Cristea, head of business development in UK, Ireland & the Nordics said: “We are excited to welcome this outstanding property to Radisson hotel group.

“The unique character of The View Hotel Folkestone, a member of Radisson Individuals, combined with a prime location and the hotel’s commitment to providing exceptional guest experiences perfectly aligns with the standards expected of our Radisson Individuals properties.”

The View has a rating of 4.5 on Tripadvisor.
