The Grand Hotel
Eastbourne, Sussex, BN21 4EQ
The Grand Hotel is situated on the seafront at Eastbourne with sweeping views of Beachy Head. It’s within easy reach of the M25, is an hour’s drive from Gatwick Airport and an hour and three quarters’ drive from Heathrow Airport. Situated at the foot of the rolling South Downs, it’s ideally placed for exploring the beautiful county of Sussex with its many attractions including historic Pevensey Castle, Glyndebourne Opera House, Sheffield Park Gardens and magnificent coastline.
All our conference and banqueting facilities are discreetly, yet superbly, organised so as to blend in with the smooth running of the hotel – importance is placed on meeting the flexibility, comfort and support required for every guest whether it’s for a private board meeting, a large celebratory dinner or a memorable wedding reception. There are 17 fully equipped conference and meeting rooms of varying sizes.
The conference facilities are second to none. Audio-visual equipment – projectors, screens, video recorders and flip charts – is available so delegates can be assured of efficient presentations. ISDN2 lines, full back projection, simultaneous translation and a comprehensive range of state-of-the-art equipment can be hired.
Our Chef will be delighted to discuss themed banqueting and creative menus with organisers.
