Sit back and watch the Brighton parade swish by from our terrace. Look out over the seafront and as you dreamily sip your morning coffee or indulge with our delightful afternoon Sussex Cream Teas. Beautiful.
Head down to the Victoria Lounge after a lie in, and start the day with a restoring capuccino. Hide behind your sunglasses or a newspaper and pick up on the gossip, it's a tradition for locals to pop in for a mid morning chatter and a quick, light Tiffin lunch of fine sandwiches.
Our afternoon Sussex Cream Teas (rumoured to be the best in the country) tend to be laid back affairs, which can easily slip into the evening. If you are still relaxing after 6pm, ask for the wine list or indulge in a house speciality cocktail. All the while against the gentle tinkling of the ivories, as our resident pianist plays on.
