It operates as an "Apartment Hotel"; the apartments are self contained with their own kitchen facilities, but are serviced, and there are bars and restaurants. So one has the best of both worlds - an apartment with hotel facilities.

The Grand was built as "Gentlemen's Residential Chambers" just over 100 years ago. It was a favourite of King Edward VII and the bar is named after his lady friend, Alice Keppel... It was nicknamed "The Monkey House" for some reason. Robert Morley
We did a new quiz last night, in place of our regular Wednesday quiz at The Britannia. This was a charity fundraiser organised by the Rotary Club that Clare's uncle is a member of. It was at The Grand, and huge, about 50 teams in, so we weren't expecting much. But we came joint second, so won a prize of four bottles of wine. Had to go up to the front to collect, be presented with the wine, and have my photo taken too. Maybe it's for the Rotarians newsletter, but if it's a slow week I expect we'll be in the Folkestone Herald too. Actually it's always a slow news week around here, what I mean is if they have less than a certain number of drink drivers to fill the paper with, maybe they'll find room for a mention of the Rotary Club quiz.
There's a Piper to pipe in the haggis and will play for a while and a really good value 3 course meal for 15 + a quiz with a Scottish feel to it. Tickets for sale at Keppels and are selling well so hurry and call 01303 222 222 to make your booking.
