“Having explored The Grand Hotel on paper, its commitment to both luxury and heritage shines. I'm particularly drawn to the blend of historic charm and modern amenities, especially the updated rooms alongside those retaining the original character; it strikes a fine balance, though I'd lean towards the latter for an authentic experience. The dining, especially the award-winning Mirabelle Restaurant, appears to be a true highlight, rounding out what seems a very special stay on the Eastbourne coast.”
