Sitting in a lovely, tranquil area of Maidstone, this is a great spot from which to explore Kent and beyond, as it’s close to both the M20 and M2. Stay with us whilst visiting Leeds Castle "the most beautiful Castle in the World", which is only 6 miles away. BEST WESTERN the Russell Hotel has been refurbished to a high standard throughout, there are up-to-date facilities and modern touches, though, happily, the charm and character of the original Victorian building has been carefully preserved.
