The Old Ship Hotel

About the The Old Ship Hotel

Overview

The Old Ship is an elegant four-star hotel, dating back to the 17th century, and has a proud tradition of hosting VIPs on their luxury seaside breaks. It commands a prime location, overlooking Brighton’s key stretch of beach, with the pier and the prom on its doorstep. In summer, the alfresco terrace is a great spot to dine or drink as you watch the scene below. Or you can gather in the hotel’s 400-year-old cellars then retire upstairs to your tastefully decorated room.

Afternoon tea is done in style here, and the hotels’ own restaurant, Steak on Sea offers an exciting fusion of local fare and continental dishes. With so many beautiful spaces to hang out, The Old Ship Hotel is a winner for your extra-special hen do. It’s set just on the edge of the Lanes, where you can indulge in some retail therapy and so many bars, clubs and restaurants are in walking distance – yes, even in heels.
