Grand Hotel

An Insider's Take
'This Victorian grand dame has been the crown jewel of Eastbourne's seafront since 1875, where Oscar Wilde once penned "The Importance of Being Earnest" in room 118.' What's Special? The Grand Hotel sits majestically on Eastbourne's pristine chalk cliffs, offering unobstructed views of the English Channel. As part of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, it maintains its historic elegance while providing modern luxury. The hotel's position at the foot of the South Downs makes it a gateway to both seaside relaxation and countryside exploration.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a sea-facing room on the upper floors for breathtaking sunrise views over the Channel, and time your visit during Eastbourne's famous airshow in August when the Red Arrows perform right outside your window.
Don't Miss Take the Victorian-era funicular railway to the top of the East Hill for panoramic coastal views, explore the nearby Beachy Head (England's highest chalk sea cliff), and stroll through the award-winning Carpet Gardens just steps from the hotel's entrance.
