About The Sun Hotel
Dating back to 1480, the Sun Hotel sits between Sun Street and The Buttermarket just meters from the main gate of Canterbury Cathedral and nestled in the heart of the historic City Centre. This 15th century hotel is one of the city's most recognisable buildings, and was a former haunt of Charles Dickens. This was said to be the inn he stayed in while writing David Copperfield, and the hotel was immortalised as Mr Micawber's 'Little Inn' in the novel. The Sun Hotel offers a warm welcome combining traditional architecture with contemporary design.
