The Grand Brighton

Sitting on the iconic Victorian seafront as the city’s landmark hotel. Opened in 1864 to great fanfare as the original ‘palace by the sea’. The Grand Brighton was revered as a feat of architectural brilliance, boasting an impressive façade with the first lift outside London and famously outstanding service. Today, the hotel is home to contemporary, design-led spaces which sit alongside the original emerald marble pillars, ornate cornices and central sweeping staircase. At The Grand, dogs will enjoy their very own ‘Grand treat’, bed and dog bowl so they’ll be just as looked after as you are.

Spend your time discovering colourful corners of the city, sampling some of the fabulous local food and drink or enjoying a serene and well-earned rest.  Afterwards, a beautiful Grand bedroom is the perfect place to retire to in the evenings. If you’re heading out to explore Brighton the hotel is a stone’s throw from the famous West Pier and bandstand and a 10-minute walk from the iconic Royal Pavilion and famous  lanes.
