Getting There / Parking:
Close to the seafront and Brighton's famous Lanes area, it looks out on to the Victoria Fountain in the Old Steine and also on to Pool Valley Coach Station and the sea and is 10 minute walking distance of Brighton Station.
It has valet parking and disabled parking bays near by; there is single yellow line directly outside and on-street parking pay and display.
-
Getting In:
The grand entrance has very level access, and the large double doors open into the Reception area.
-
Getting Around / Facilities:
They have friendly, helpful and confident staff with a good awareness of disability. There is a reasonable sized internal lift, just enough for motorized wheelchairs. There are two accessible toilets on the ground floor.
-
Accommodation / Rooms:
Entry to all rooms is with a room card key. Many rooms are wheelchair accessible and of a good size, though others have a few steps to change level. (Originally built in 1771 as houses, the building was converted into a hotel in 1819, hence there are several changes in level.)
Room 312, though has a small lip at the door, it is specifically designed for disabled people with a shower and bath and accessible toilet. The double bed has just enough side transfer space on both sides. It enjoys a good view of the Old Steine.
There are also non-adapted short stay apartments at the top.
There are no disabled rooms, not very good access, the front door you have to push, the lift is quiet small and there are a lot of stairs.

Additional Comments:
Used to be the Royal York Hotel. Recently refurbished. There is cocktail bar and elegant restaurant, while there also vibrant karaoke rooms at the ground floor. The Hotel has multi media conference facilities suitable for both large and small meetings.
