The management and staff welcome you to the award winning Grand Hotel, also known as 'The White Palace'. Standing imperiously at the west end of King Edward's Parade and dominating the shore line.
This magnificent 19th century hotel has been sympathetically restored and modernised by Elite Hotels to meet 21st century requirements. The luxury 5-star accommodation, with 152 rooms - many having views of the sea - provides the ideal base for touring Sussex or simply enjoying the superb leisure facilities and gourmet restaurants within the hotel. The exceptional Conference suites can be adapted to meet the needs of business meetings and banquets large or small and are the perfect setting for civil weddings and receptions.
Eastbourne has numerous attractions such as the theatre, tennis, golf, castles, gardens, Sovereign Harbour and the towering cliffs of Beachy Head. Along the coast there is Brighton with its Pavilion and the gentle rolling Downs with its fascinating villages and spectacular scenery. The Grand Hotel has road links to the M23, M25, Gatwick Airport and a fast train service to London.
