Wonderful experience at The Grand. The rooms have been refurbished and now have lovely wood floors. It was spotlessly clean, the bed was big and comfortable, fluffy white towels, good shower pressure. Breakfast was incredible - a huge fresh buffet, omlettes cooked to order, and plenty of vegan and gluten free options. The cocktails in the bar were outstanding, with a bar menu for light meals. The vegan club sandwich was delicious. The service throughout the hotel is what really sets the Grand apart from the rest, from the doorman who remembered me even though I haven't stayed at the hotel for a while, the warm welcome at check in, the charming gentleman who seated me by a sunny window at breakfast, friendly service in the bar. Outstanding service is consistent throughout the hotel. The Spa is a wonderful new addition and I enjoyed the 'soft launch' experience . I'll definitely be back.

We stayed at The Grand Brighton for our wedding night and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly special and well looked after. The room was beautiful and elegant, the perfect place to unwind after such a big day. Breakfast the next morning was delicious with a great variety, and enjoying drinks in the bar overlooking the sea was the perfect way to continue the celebrations. We stayed a second night and were so glad we did — it gave us time to truly relax and soak it all in. A huge thank you to everyone at The Grand for making our stay so memorable. We highly recommend it for any special occasion or romantic getaway!

An elderly visitor, my mother felt safe and welcomed by the staff to enjoy the lovely facilities in this hotel. Her room enjoyed a fantastic view and plenty of room. It's an old building with plenty of character and history, which adds to the charm. She did need help to negotiate the rather long corridors and steps. There is of course a lift between floors and a wheelchair lift at the entrance. The staff in reception, the restaurant, the lounge and the doorstaff were all pleasant and helpful.

My partner and I (both in our mid-50s) recently enjoyed our very first stay at The Grand Brighton, and we’re already talking about when we can return. This was a bit of a treat for us—a short seaside getaway—and The Grand certainly lived up to its name. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the building’s classic charm. There’s a real sense of history to the place, but it’s been beautifully maintained and tastefully updated where needed. The check-in process was warm and efficient, and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful throughout our stay. Our room was clean, comfortable, and nicely furnished + air con. The bed was very comfortable (we slept incredibly well), and little touches like proper tea and coffee-making facilities and quality toiletries didn’t go unnoticed. Breakfast was generous and well-prepared, with a good range of options. We particularly appreciated the vegetarian choices and the fact that everything was hot and fresh. We also took advantage of the hotel bar for evening drinks, and it was lovely—relaxed atmosphere, good service, and a nice spot to unwind after a day of exploring the Lanes and strolling along the pier. This was our first visit to The Grand, and Brighton in general, but certainly not our last. We felt well looked after and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended for couples looking for a bit of seaside elegance with a personal touch.

Went to The Grand Brighton Hotel for high tea. Had the traditional option but there are a number of options, like vegan & gluten free. The atmosphere is fantastic. It’s a beautiful hotel, tho small. The high tea was no more special than others I’ve had, but you go here for the atmosphere, the venue, & the view of the sea. Pricey at £40 + service fee. But still recommend.
