Lonely Planet "Originally opened in 1864, this is where Britain's celebrities and gentry like to be seen. These days this five-star giant's fame and popularity rest heavily on its history."
DK Eyewitness "Brighton’s only five-star hotel, this is arguably the nation’s finest big seaside hotel, located right on the seafront. There is a gymnasium and a magnificent Victorian dining room and bar."
Frommer's "Opening onto the seafront promenade, Brighton's premier hotel, the original Grand was constructed in 1864 and entertained some of the most eminent Victorians and Edwardians." Full review

"Opened in 1864, Brighton’s grand hotel has a fabulous sea-facing location and elegant, freshly updated rooms." Full review
Fodor's "The city's most famous hotel, this seafront landmark is a huge, creamy Victorian wedding cake of a building dating from 1864." Full review
The Guardian "Living up to its name since a glitzy refurbishment a few years ago, Brighton’s grand dame has plum position on the seafront, only a 15-minute stroll from the railway station and with all of the town’s neighbourhoods – Kemptown, the Lanes and the bohemian North Laine area – right on the doorstep"
Independent "The Grand is the dominant hotel – its location practically defines the centre of the city, and its ornate facade is synonymous with Brighton’s seafront"
Independent "The Grand is certainly the grande dame of Brighton’s hotels – perfectly located overlooking the sea, a pebble’s throw from the pier...bedrooms carry a cool rethink on Art Deco"
Time Out "Old and new mingle in a seafront palace full of creature comforts and easy charm" Full review

"An enviable seaside bolthole moments from the beach, buzzy seafront bars and Prince Regent's opulent party palace." Full review
Independent "Tucked away up a narrow Kemp Town side street, this skinny, salt-flecked Victorian townhouse may appear to be your typical seaside B&B"
