The Grand Hotel

This impressive and illustrious Great Hall, with its marble columns and high ceilings, is where visitors to Eastbourne can relax and enjoy afternoon tea. A luxurious and indulgent experience not to be missed, make sure you take the time to build up your appetite with a refreshing wander along the seafront before enjoying the delicious toasted teacakes, tasty sandwiches and delightful scones in one of the country's most famous hotel lounges. The Great Hall itself is situated in one of the UK's most stunning Victorian hotels, The Grand Hotel, which stands on the shoreline and overlooks the sea and the cliffs at Beachy Head. The Hall is primarily famous for being the setting of the BBC Palm Court Orchestra's regular Sunday evening broadcasts and to this day, the quintessentially British establishment still carries an air of history.
