Local Tips

Must See

Chartwell House, 30 minutes' drive from the hotel, was once the family home of Winston Churchill. It's also thought that Henry VIII stayed here while courting Anne Boleyn, who lived nearby. Now maintained by the National Trust, the house contains a permanent collection of books, furniture and other mementos of the Churchill family. Extensive hillside gardens feature lakes and charming woodland.

What's New

You can enjoy stunning views as far as the Isle of Wight from the circular glass viewing pod of the British Airways i360 in Brighton, 50 minutes by car from the hotel. The i360 was designed by the architects behind the London Eye, and at 138 metres, is the world's tallest moving observation tower. Up to 200 visitors at a time can take a ride on this, one of the area's newest attractions.
