The Grand Hotel Eastbourne
Latest Reviews
We visited here for three nights, staying in a side sea-view room. All staff were professional, friendly and helpful. The hotel is large and we particularly liked the numerous large public lounges and spaces, which meant that we could always find somewhere to sit and relax. Our room had everything we needed and was serviced promptly each day. We also received a turn-down service each evening.
Food was excellent and I will review the two restaurants separately. Breakfast was serviced in the main Garden Restaurant and as well as the hot and cold buffet you can also have your breakfast cooked to order directly from the kitchen, should you wish, at no extra charge. We had our lunch outside in the sun each day, served from the lounge menu. What a treat to sit in the sun in October!
We enjoyed watching the dancing in the lounge in the evening. We also made use of the snooker room. There were two swimming pools, indoor and outdoors (heated) which we did not use, but they looked very inviting.
We will certainly hope to visit again soon.

Old style elegance and efficiency combined with modern amenity.The style and quality of all the employees is beyond reproach and the Grand is surely the jewel in the crown of all that is good with the best of English hotels.

This is a very gracious hotel, beautifully situated and well worth a stay. The staff are excellent; the food good and the rooms excellent, particularly if you get a sea view and a balcony. The cheaper rooms are good but not the experience you get looking out to sea. Look put for the deal with includes room, breakfast and dinner. This is excellent value. We took a couple from New Zealand there to stay on their last night of a holiday in the UK - they loved it. Great place to go away for a mid-week break. Make use of the pool and spa facilities.

Took my partner to lunch at The Mirabelle for his birthday. Delicious gin and tonics sitting on the terrace in the sunshine. Very good service, menus for our lunch to look at and choose our food. The restaurant has reopened and is more relaxed, no longer requires men to wear jackets and a tie, which makes it smart but more casual. Delicious food, from a varied set menu. Service was really good efficient and friendly. Good wine list. Great value. Would definitely recommend it as a treat.

This was our 5th visit over the last few years & since our previous trip, the facade has been painted & now looks terrific. Also, internally it has had alot of money spent on it. Our bedroom was just revamped. We love the old world glamour of the cocktail bar & this hotel is truely one of the grande old dames of the South coast. Not cheap but well worth a visit

We enjoyed a one night stay when visiting Eastbourne to watch a show at the nearby Devonshire Park Theatre. It is a beautiful hotel with very smart, friendly and attentive staff. An excellent breakfast was served in the beautiful surroundings of the Garden Restaurant. Furthermore, despite it being mid-October, we were delighted to be able to use the outdoor swimming pool since it was heated to a pleasant temperature. The indoor pool was also lovely and there is a jacuzzi and steam room next to the indoor pool as well as a sauna in each of the changing rooms. Overall, a lovely experience and one well worth repeating.

Single? treat yourself to an out of season retreat to The Grande - beautiful outdoor swimming opportunities and walking. Old fashioned manners and service - so glad I didn't waste time on flights . It's all here - as long as the weather is good!

We stayed for two nights in this wonderful hotel. We enjoyed afternoon tea, courtesy of our daughter who had bought a voucher as a birthday present for my wife. The afternoon tea was delicious, beautifully presented and when the waitress learned it was my wife's birthday she spoke to the chef who sent us a little cake with Happy Birthday written on the plate. A lovely touch and much appreciated. Dinner in the Mirabelle restaurant in the evening proved to be superb. My wife is still talking about the pea and courgette risotto. I enjoyed the duck which was perfectly cooked and again beautifully presented. Our room was very comfortable and we enjoyed the sea views.Breakfast was excellent with a wide choice of high quality food from the buffet. All the staff were very attentive and friendly. A really enjoyable experience and we will definitely return.

First visit and very enjoyable. All staff friendly and well trained. Dining experience and health club both very good. Bedroom in need of freshening and renewing of carpet and furniture required. Disabled room good but why is the only disabled room a ‘suite’, with accompanying expensive price tag?

Just brilliant everytime we go no matter what the occasion. Stays, dinners, private dining or afternoon teas, The Grand Hotel has it all and excels in a class of its own.
The Mirabelle is superb and particular praise must go to Benjamin who is always so friendly and welcoming with exceedingly good knowledge.

I booked this break for my boyfriends birthday, and it surely did not disappoint! The staff were so friendly and helpful. On arrival we had a chilled bottle of champagne, fresh strawberries and hand made chocolates! Then at turn down rose petals were scattered on the bed with a Milton brown gift bag! The rooms were spacious and elagant. I can't wait to stay again and would recommend to all!

Had a 70th Birthday dinner here. Nowhere to park and couldn't book a space in advance. Had to drop off a disabled passenger and go and find on street parking, luckily found a space quite close by and its currently free after 6.00pm.
As for the meal, it was very nice and well presented. The staff made us all feel very valued and special and it was a truly wonderful experience.

I stayed at the Grand Hotel last night whilst in the area for work. I was given an executive room with sea view and the room was lovely, spacious and comfortable. The food was fantastic and the service was second to none. The breakfast was also very enjoyable. Can’t fault this place!

The service was what to be expected of a five star hotel. The food however was not. My starter was a salmon roulade which was a piece of salmon wrapped around chopped up new potatoes with prawns which I could not see nor taste it was cold, cold as if it had been left in a fridge for a few days then serviced. My main course was duck with potatoes chopped into squares the whole meal was cold it looked as if had been hanging around the kitchen for a few hours. we did send it back it came back a little better but I cannot say it was tasty. I did not have pudding. The hotel is a lovely building and the service is good. The beds, the pillows and the duvet need renewing. Would I stay again? Yes, but only on a room only and only if I knew they had new beds and bedding.
