Grand Hotel, Eastbourne

The Grand Hotel is one of the UK’s most magnificent Victorian hotels. Situated on the seafront at Eastbourne, it dominates the shoreline and enjoys a stunning outlook over the sea and, to the right, the cliffs at Beachy Head.

Built in 1875, it has welcomed many of the great and the good over the years including Winston Churchill, Charlie Chaplin and Elgar. Today, its elegant accommodation, excellent food and superb leisure facilities make it the perfect venue for a getaway break, romantic weekend, wedding or business function.

Today, the Grand Hotel has been sympathetically restored to meet 21st century requirements and is an ideal base from which to explore Sussex or simply enjoy the excellent leisure facilities on site. These include indoor and outdoor swimming pools, health spa, well-equipped gym, sauna and steam room. Eastbourne offers numerous attractions while Glyndebourne Opera House, Sheffield Park Gardens, Drusillas Zoo, Pevensey Castle, Brighton and the gentle rolling South Downs are all within easy reach.

Food at The Grand Hotel is renowned for its excellence and has won us many awards. We have two restaurants, the Mirabelle and Garden Restaurants where you can look forward to outstanding cuisine and fine wines served in relaxed settings.

Afternoon tea at The Grand is not to be missed. It’s well worth working up an appetite with a brisk walk along the seafront so you can enjoy toasted teacakes in one of the country’s most famous hotel lounges. Grand Afternoon Tea is £22.50 and the Grand Champagne Afternoon Tea is £30.00.

Our Garden Restaurant seats 180 and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner daily in highly graceful surroundings. The cuisine is based on the highest standards of traditional English cuisine with a modern interpretation. The Mirabelle Restaurant has been awarded two AA rosettes and serves lunch and dinner in wonderfully warm and intimate surroundings.

Whether you are planning a romantic meal for two, a birthday celebration with friends or client lunch, you can look forward to inspired menus complemented by an excellent selection of wine from our outstanding cellars.

Please note that gentlemen are requested to wear a jacket or tie for dinner in both restaurants.
