Opening of the Mansion Hotel at Port Lympne

13 June 2014

Helping to promote the county’s tourism champions has always been a part of Maxim’s portfolio.

Back in 2014, Maxim helped The Aspinall Foundation, the conservation charity protecting some of the most endangered species in the world, unveil its Mansion Hotel at Port Lympne.

The event was a landmark in the charity’s journey to reposition and rebrand itself as a major accommodation provider, as well as visitor attraction.

The Mansion created a boutique hotel and venue for private parties, weddings and corporate hospitality events, as well as providing a great place to escape, overlooking the English Channel at Hythe.



Built more than a century ago, the Mansion played host to lavish house parties and society gatherings in its stunning grounds, organised by creator Sir Philip Sassoon, a member of the Rothschild family and MP for Folkestone and Hythe from 1912 until his death in 1939.

In a fitting link to its past, the Mansion Hotel was formally opened by Damian Collins, the then MP for Folkestone and Hythe, who was joined by representatives from the local community and tourism industry.

Port Lympne and Howletts have continued to go from strength-to-strength and deliver an innovative, top quality visitor experience and destination, for which Kent is rightly proud.
