  • Seafront location: With a privileged and lively location on the pebble-fringed Brighton seafront, The Old Ship Hotel dates back to the 17th century and is one of the well-known old boys of Brighton. The decor is a suits-everyone blend of classic and contemporary, so you're sure to find a welcoming blend of modernity and tradition by the seaside.
