4-star Victorian seafront hotel on Brighton's beachfront

Heritage & Setting

DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole occupies a grand Victorian building directly on Brighton's seafront. The hotel is a 15-minute walk from Brighton Palace Pier and the Sea Life Centre, with Brighton Rail Station less than 20 minutes on foot. Original architectural details, including Victorian ceilings and chandeliers, remain intact in public spaces such as the 1890 At The Met restaurant.

Dining & Bars

The hotel has three restaurants, including The Salt Room, a seafood restaurant with sea views. 1890 At The Met serves breakfast under original Victorian ceilings with panoramic sea views. The Metropole Bar & Terrace offers booth seating, a snug, bespoke cocktails, seafood platters, and cream teas.

Leisure & Wellness

Guests have access to an indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room, and a fitness centre with a personal trainer available. The hotel's leisure facilities include a hot tub, spa lounge, and beauty services such as manicures, pedicures, and hair styling. Sun loungers and beach chairs are provided for use on the seafront.

Family Travel

Children under five eat breakfast for free. Family rooms include sofabeds and some offer sea views with balconies. The hotel provides kid-friendly buffet meals, high chairs, and a children's menu, in addition to the main restaurant options.

Location & Business

The hotel is centrally located near The Lanes shopping district and the Royal Pavilion. Business travellers have access to meeting and banquet facilities, a business centre, and fax/photocopying services. Gatwick Airport is 30 minutes away, and Central London is less than an hour by train.

Location: Beachfront on Brighton seafront, 15 min walk to Palace Pier

Dining: The Salt Room seafood restaurant with sea views

“This Victorian-era building offers a prime beachfront spot near the Brighton Palace Pier and Royal Pavilion, and families should appreciate the generous room sizes and kids-eat-free program. With acclaimed restaurants and even a spa, unwinding here seems pretty effortless; however, light sleepers might want to pack earplugs due to some noise from street traffic. Overall, it's a solid choice for Brighton.”

Fantastic Stay! Can't Wait to Return

warm cookies bigger room beautiful decoration
This place is amazing. The staff welcomed me with huge smiles and warm cookies! I got upgraded to a bigger room. It was very much appreciated. The hotel boasts beautiful furnishings and decorations. the location is just a short walk to the main shops! I found it all clean and the staff friendly.
I must say, the pool was colder than expected, and it was busy! There were a lot of young men playing catch with a water bottle in the pool, and it made me nervous. It was pretty much impossible to swim with so many people in there.

Breakfast was decent. The food was hot. The breakfast room felt too big, but there was plenty for everyone. It was a huge buffet. Freshly cooked omelets are available and are perfect.

The hotel is on the seafront, and it is in a fantastic location! All the main shops are a short walk away. That adds great convenience. It is less than a minute away from the concert venue.

a few issues need fixing

free cookies clean room loose tap no shelves
i was glad with how easy it was to check in. we got free cookies when we checked in. it was a nice touch. the room was large and clean, i liked that it was straight across the road from the beach.
our room didnt have a fridge, unusual for a premier hotel. the sink tap was very loose and slow running water, and there werent many shelves in the bathroom. we used the spa, but there werent any padlocks left to lock your belongings.

helpful staff clean hotel seafront location faulty tv breakfast queue flooded bathroom
the staff were unbelievably helpful, i am thankful for that. the hotel was clean and decorated well. i loved the location right on the seafront.
my tv didn't work the first day, it was stuck on one channel with subtitles. there was a long queue for breakfast the next morning. my friend's bathroom flooded after her first shower, so she had to be moved to another room.
