The Grand Hotel

Summary

Affectionately known as The White Palace, The Grand Hotel is a dazzling Victorian hotel on Eastbourne's promenade with such inspiring sea views that Debussy completed his symphony 'La Mer' here in 1905. This historic, seaside retreat has an award-winning restaurant, 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 tasting menu accompanied by vintage wines.
