“The Grand Brighton certainly earns its reputation, particularly with its celebrated afternoon tea served in the Victoria Terrace, a detail that hints at the hotel's commitment to blending historic charm with moments of luxury. Its beachfront location places guests steps away from Brighton Pier and the Lanes, while inside, the focus remains on providing personalized service-a feature that stands out.

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Grand Brighton Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Grand Brighton is often praised for its sumptuous atmosphere and fantastic seafront views from spacious, well-equipped rooms; some even enjoyed views from a balcony. Guests appreciate the proximity to local attractions like the pier and restaurants, with the added convenience of valet parking and bike rentals for exploring the chalk cliffs. The breakfast is considered exceptional, especially the omelettes, and the complimentary bar snacks are a nice touch; however, some guests have mentioned that the carpets in some areas appear old. The Empress suite is a popular choice for events, offering a recently refurbished and spacious experience.

an amazing hotel experience

really good viewperfect roompathetic shower
paul, the doorman, was particularly cute. even small issues received prompt attention. All minor hiccups disappeared seamlessly. i appreciated the really good view from the balcony. the room was perfect for observing the marathon and the weather cooperated too.
the shower in our bathroom was not very good! it was the most pathetic shower i've used in a long time. i hope they improve the shower facilities .
