MODEM links and direct dial phones for business clients have been installed as part of refurbishment of the Campanile Hotel on Clipper Boulevard West, Crossways Business Park, Dartford.

It is part of a multi-million pound revamp across the French-owned group in the United Kingdom and includes the Dartford hotel's 125 bedrooms. The hotel updated its conference facilities and bistro restaurant last year.

The Mayor of Dartford officially unveiled the new-look hotel during an open day for local businesses. Manager Mickael Chevalier said: "Budget hotels are the fastest growing hotel sector and it is important that we keep one step ahead of our competitors.”
