An exceptional wedding venue
With an unrivalled location right on the iconic, lively seafront, this recently-restored 19th century Regency period building, featuring original period features and colourful, quirky, contemporary interiors throughout, is the perfect, uniquely Brighton, seaside wedding venue.
The hotel has two great event rooms, listed below; one for larger wedding ceremonies, breakfasts and receptions up to 160 guests, and one for more intimate weddings of up to 30 guests. For the quintessential Brighton wedding, we also offer optional, uniquely-Brighton wedding themes: a Vegas-inspired ‘white chapel’ wedding, a vintage-themed wedding, and a rock-style wedding.
For exceptional eating and drinking throughout your wedding day, our passionate chefs have prepared a selection of special menus – or you may of course create your own. We use only the highest quality, locally-sourced ingredients, that will delight your guests - to prove it, we’ll give you both a tasting session first. And to ensure your special day runs smoothly, and to take away the stress of organising it, we provide you a dedicated wedding coordinator who’ll help you every step of the way.
For before and after your special event, we can offer preferential room rates for those wishing to stay, and a selection of great, locally-themed activities and experiences. Shopping at The Lanes is a 5-minute walk, The Pier and The Royal Pavilion a 10-minute walk each. The beach is just outside the door.

For customers travelling by car we offer 50% discount on parking at the local NCP, a 5-minute walk from the hotel.
