East Beach Hotel, Sussex

Property details

Ditch the city for a breath of fresh sea air in a charming, Victorian seaside hotel near Eastbourne Pier and clifftop beauty - includes breakfast, optional dinner, and a welcome drink
  • Prime spot on the promenade: The whitewashed, tiered façade of East Beach hotel is a picturesque hallmark of the English seaside holiday. Overlooking the beach and chalky blue waters beyond, you’re in prime position to enjoy the bustling and nostalgic Eastbourne Promenade. Your hotel’s sea view lounge, sheltered from the sea breeze, offers a snug spot for a leisurely breakfast or a spot of people watching.

  • Delightful dining: Whether cosied up inside or on the sunny terrace, savour a delicious breakfast. If you’re a little later, why not indulge in a bottomless brunch?

  • Victorian charm: The hotel’s guestrooms are a step back in time, decorated in pretty pastel colours with chandeliers, elegant drapes and flowers. Order room service to savour the nostalgic atmosphere of your traditional seaside holiday, or venture out to the nearby Eastbourne Pier. This iconic Victorian boardwalk boasts an old-school amusement arcade, tea rooms and waterfront bar.

Location and what's nearby

The East Beach Hotel, 23-25 Royal Parade, Eastbourne BN22 7AN

Beyond the quaint seaside charm and amusements lining Eastbourne Promenade and Eastbourne Pier, the Beachy Head and Seven Sister’s Cliffs are well worth exploring for a taste of England’s raw coastal beauty – even if you go just to say you’ve been to the highest chalk cliff in the UK! Here you can explore some stunning hiking and cycling trails, and if you head east along the coast, Pevensey Castle is well worth a visit, its history dating back to the Roman period. Back in town, visit the contemporary art displays at Towner Eastbourne or get tickets to a show at the Devonshire Park Theatre.
