The direct booking myth – why relying on inbound leads isn’t enough
It’s easy to understand why some venues believe they can go it alone. A beautiful website, strong SEO, and a steady trickle of inbound leads...
Canterbury City Council has approved plans for a new 130-bed hotel on St Margaret’s Street. This will replace the derelict Slatters Hotel, which will be demolished for the new 5-storey building. It is rumoured that an internationally recognised brand will manage the hotel. A local restauranteur will operate a restaurant on the top floor which will have outside terrace space and views of the cathedral. It will also feature glass apertures in the foyer floor allowing visitors to gaze on the remains of a Roman theatre below.
The hotel will have conference facilities, but the number and sizes of meeting rooms are not available yet.
