Reviews for Hythe Imperial Hotel
Perfect wedding location
All of our guests loved the hotel complimenting the whole staff team from the fantastic food to the cleanliness and the friendly staff.
We found that with planning ahead our special day didn’t go over budget either. We would recommend going to the wedding fairs to get ideas to help you plan your big day.
The Bridal suite is like no other! Highly recommend adding this in.
Waking up on your wedding day next to the beach watching the sun rise then breakfast in your suite is the perfect way to start your day.
We highly recommend The Hythe Imperial for weddings, you won’t be disappointed.
The perfect wedding!
A wedding day to remember.
Thank you to Tori and Georgia for all their hard work, guidance, input and calm (sometimes quite excitable) presence throughout planning, and thank you to Georgia for her organisational skills on the day. All the reception staff were great throughout our stay, supporting our guests to get settled in, sometimes with early check-ins, and it was lovely to meet with Portia again, as we started this whole experience with her showing us around last year.
Thank you specifically to Hobi and Johnny who were kind and approachable throughout. The kitchen manager was great too, whipping up a vegan meal for one of our guests on the day, an oversight on our part! The food was a big hit with all attendees, so thank you to all the kitchen staff as well.
All the floor, cleaning and bar staff were helpful and hard working throughout.
Thank you very much!
Perfect Day
From the very first visit, the Hythe Imperial Hotel made an incredible impression on us. The team were warm, responsive, and never made us feel pressured to commit. When we chose them as our wedding venue, everything was clear and upfront — the quote was transparent with no hidden fees, and the whole process felt smooth and stress-free.
A special thank you goes to our amazing wedding coordinator, Tori. She was always on hand to answer questions, offer guidance, and make us feel supported every step of the way. The menu tasting day was a real treat — we felt pampered, the food was splendid, and all our requests were met with flexibility and care.
As the big day approached, the staff maintained a calm, elegant, and professional energy that helped us relax and truly enjoy the moment. On the wedding day itself, every member of staff was kind, attentive, and on point. Tori made sure every detail was exactly how we wanted it — even down to helping us track down missing room cards! There were no issues at all — just seamless service, clean and beautiful spaces, and a relaxed, joyful atmosphere. Everything exceeded our expectations.
We ended up extending our stay because we simply didn’t want to leave. The surrounding area, the spa, the swimming pool, the gym, the views — all were excellent. Our guests were equally impressed and only had great things to say about the service.
We also want to take a moment to say this: as a Black couple, we felt completely welcomed. In some parts of the UK, you may worry about how you’ll be received — but this was a warm, inclusive, and respectful environment from start to finish. We genuinely felt at home.
Thank you to Tori, Lily, and the entire Hythe Imperial team for making our day unforgettable. We’ll absolutely be back — whether for an anniversary or a holiday. You made our dream wedding a reality.

The best day of our lives
Best day of our lives!
Our guests didn’t stop praising the venue and the wedding breakfast, one guest even said it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding!
Tori was absolutely outstanding and is a credit to the hotel. She consistently went above and beyond for us and knowing she was coordinating our day gave us complete peace of mind.
We just wish we could go back and do it all again!
