The Grand Brighton

By far the most famous hotel in Brighton, The Grand is a classic seaside luxury retreat. It's one to tick off your bucket list. You'll be able to say, "I stayed at The Grand in Brighton, you know." It's right on the seafront in an unbeatable location. Although it's a historic hotel, the decor isn't old and stuffy - it was recently refurbed. The colour palette is light and airy, benefitting from the bright light in spring and summer.

The Grand is, of course, a major landmark in UK history. The IRA almost succeeded in assassinating Margaret Thatcher at this hotel in 1984. They failed but had they succeeded history would have taken a different turn.

Afternoon tea at The Grand is quite an experience. This is a fab choice for a gay stay in Brighton.
