Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve
Nr Hythe, Kent, CT21 4PD
Carrie’s expert take
“Port Lympne is the sort of venue that can turn a company away day into a real experience. It’s not just about having a meeting room - you can combine the business side of the day with safari experiences, team activities, dinner and an overnight stay in some really unusual accommodation. I’d put it forward when a company wants to reward its team, bring people together or create an away day that everyone will still be talking about afterwards.”
Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve is located in the South East of England in the beautiful county of Kent , and is within easy reach of London, Surrey, Sussex, and Essex .
Port Lympne provides the perfect environment for corporate groups to work together on activities that are engaging , rewarding and strengthen team spirit . By holding your
event with us , you are directly helping the park to protect wildlife here in the UK which, in turn, enables the park’s partner conservation charity, The Aspinall Foundation, to send animals back to the wild and manage animal protection schemes in Congo, Gabon, Java and Madagascar.
The Mansion
We offer the use of the stunning drawing rooms and terraces , surrounded by glorious landscaped gardens , providing the perfect backdrop for your event . These include The Long Room, The Spencer Roberts Room and The Martin Jordan Room. The strikingly original decor within the mansion is enhanced yet more by spectacular sea views from the south and west-facing terraces.
The Orangery
A stunning place to host your event, our elegant, newly-appointed glass orangery and terrace are a creative salute to the theatrical entertainment style of the Gatsby era .
