DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole
Situated on the seafront in Brighton, East Sussex, the DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole is a four-star hotel and conference venue. The building, completed in 1890, was designed by the renowned architect Alfred Waterhouse, who also created notable structures such as University College London and London's Natural History Museum.
As Southern England's largest residential conference facility, the hotel offers 321 guest rooms and is equipped with five elevators supplied by the Otis Elevator Company. During the 1960s or 1970s, a two-storey residential extension was constructed above the original structure.
The hotel was formerly part of the Stakis chain and owned by RBS. Since 2000, management has been under Hilton Hotels & Resorts, while ownership of the freehold remains with the Topland Group.
In 2022, a comprehensive refurbishment valued at £26 million was completed, updating all guest accommodations, the historic 1890 "At The Met" restaurant, bar, terrace, and communal spaces. In May 2023, the property transitioned its branding from "Hilton Brighton Metropole" to "DoubleTree by Hilton Metropole," reflecting its integration into Hilton Worldwide's DoubleTree by Hilton portfolio.
