Deal Hotels

Originally, Deal was a significant port from the Middle Ages and for centuries after, and it has its fair share of intriguing stories as one of the main smuggler's hubs of the 17th century.

Places to visit

While you're exploring the town, make sure to walk up Middle Street to take in the beautiful Georgian and Victorian houses on either side. Marked as a Conservation Area, this grand street is a true architectural treasure.

Just along from Middle Street, you'll find the Tudor Deal Castle. Built by Henry VIII as an artillery fortress, this extravagant building is surprisingly beautiful and a great way to spend an afternoon.

For cultural entertainment, why not visit the Deal Maritime and Local History Museum for an interesting glimpse into Deal's illustrious past, or take a trip to The Astor Theatre and catch a show.

Eateries and hotels

The streets in Deal are lined with charming cafés like Isaura's Fine Food, fish and chip shops like The Fryer Tuck and bistros, so you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to eating out. The Dining Club and Victuals & Co are both popular restaurants, and worth considering for an evening meal or a spot of lunch.

For Deal hotels, stay at The Royal Hotel if you'd like to be right on the seafront, or check out the popular Sutherland House or Dunkerley's Restaurant and Hotels.

But wherever you stay, make sure to keep close to the town centre so you can really experience everything this lively place has to offer.
