The fire at the Portlands Club on High Street triggered a major emergency response, with six fire engines mobilized to extinguish the blaze in Northfleet.
Firefighters battled the blaze from above using a height vehicle while ground teams employed high-pressure hose reel jets to control the flames at the derelict site.
Kent Police are investigating the fire as a suspected arson, appealing for information from the public as they work to understand the incident's cause.
The fire, which broke out around 5.26pm and was extinguished by 10.15pm, has raised concerns due to previous incidents at the Grade II listed building.
