About The Churchill Hotel Dover

The Churchill Hotel occupies a stretch of Dover's Georgian seafront crescent, a short walk from the town centre and harbour, and has been a fixture of the Dover hotel scene for decades. Its position on Waterloo Crescent gives many rooms a direct view over the water towards the ferry terminal.

Bedrooms are comfortable rather than luxurious, in keeping with the hotel's mid-range positioning, and the on-site restaurant and bar serve straightforward meals to both guests and passing visitors. The building's period exterior contrasts with a more functional, updated interior geared towards practical stays.

Its central seafront location makes it an easy base for exploring Dover on foot, with the castle, museum and Roman Painted House all within a short walk or brief drive, and Dover Priory station close by for onward rail travel.

Best service we’ve had since we got to England! Jose was amazing and got us in right at closing time. He was very attentive and kind. The food was great and the drinks were even better! We can’t wait to come back. Thanks again Jose!

This is the first we have visited the bar since the renovation. Love the decor and overall atmosphere. The wine was great as always. Very friendly service. Met Derek, who was an absolute pleasure to talk to and very professional. Such a pleasant young man and a credit to The Best Western.

They also highlight the warm, inviting atmosphere, often with live music, and the beautiful sea views. Guests mention the staff, especially Jose, Izzy, and Dennis, are consistently attentive, friendly, and provide exceptional service.
