It’s easy to see why it’s just one of only 31 AIM Gold accredited meetings venues in the UK. And that, paired with an onsite team who have decades of experience in running large scale events for global clients, makes The Grand Brighton the place to surprise, delight and entertain.

The Empress Suite is a beautiful and contemporary sea-facing space which provides audio visual routing and unlimited suspension points for creative and practical conference seats, plus its own private entrance with street loading. The Albert Room’s exceptionally high ceilings are dotted with ornate chandeliers making for an impressively flexible backdrop; whilst a section of striking meeting spaces are available for small conferences, syndicate areas, private dinners, board meetings and team building in Brighton. Think paddle boarding by day, sea bass carpaccio with Brighton Gin by night.

Just 10 minutes from Brighton Station, 30 minutes from Gatwick Airport and 55 minutes from London Victoria, it couldn’t be easier to breeze down to the coast to arrive at the most vibrant, colourful and creative city. The Grand Brighton has told thousands of stories over the last 150 years, now it’s time to write yours.
