Lonely Planet "Originally opened in 1864, this is where Britain's celebrities and gentry like to be seen. These days this five-star giant's fame and popularity rest heavily on its history."
DK Eyewitness "Brighton’s only five-star hotel, this is arguably the nation’s finest big seaside hotel, located right on the seafront. There is a gymnasium and a magnificent Victorian dining room and bar."
Frommer's "Opening onto the seafront promenade, Brighton's premier hotel, the original Grand was constructed in 1864 and entertained some of the most eminent Victorians and Edwardians." Full review

Independent "The Grand is the dominant hotel – its location practically defines the centre of the city, and its ornate facade is synonymous with Brighton’s seafront"

The Guardian "Living up to its name since a glitzy refurbishment a few years ago, Brighton’s grand dame has plum position on the seafront, only a 15-minute stroll from the railway station and with all of the town’s neighbourhoods – Kemptown, the Lanes and the bohemian North Laine area – right on the doorstep"
