The Grand Hotel

About The Grand Hotel

Affectionately known as The White Palace, The Grand Hotel is a dazzling Victorian hotel on Eastbournes promenade with such inspiring sea views that Debussy completed his symphony La Mer here in 1905. This historic, seaside retreat has two award-winning restaurants, indoor and outdoor pools, a health spa and conference facilities. Grand by name and by nature, the public spaces are majestic with high palatial ceilings supporting chandeliers, vast white columns and tall windows. The bedrooms are more intimate with period furnishings and soft colour tones. Afternoon tea at The Grand Hotel is a veritable institution, not to be missed. Afterwards, head to the spa for a Reiki treatment, then work up an appetite with an invigorating cliff walk. Return for dinner at the gastronomic Mirabelle Restaurant and enjoy the acclaimed tasting menu.
