Holiday Inn Brighton Seafront

The Holiday Inn Brighton Seafront Hotel (formerly the Bedford Hotel) is a 17-storey tower block on the Brighton seafront near Regency Square and the British Airways i360 tower.

The Bedford Hotel was originally built in 1829 and Charles Dickens wrote Dombey and Son while staying here. The original five-storey Georgian-style building burnt down in 1964 and was replaced by an ugly 17-storey hotel that is now known as the Holiday Inn Brighton Seafront.

The hotel has 131 guest bedrooms that all include comfortable beds, a work desk, a flatscreen television, ironing facilities, tea and coffee making facilities and en suite bathrooms. Executive rooms are larger and also feature a sea view plus bathrobes, a Nespresso coffee machine and minibar. Many of the sea view rooms have balconies.

There are some wheelchair-accessible rooms available.

The hotel has recently undergone a £4 million refurbishment programme that has seen an improvement to all the bedrooms as well as the public areas downstairs. While the hotel has an ugly exterior, at least the recent renovation means that it looks nice inside.
