Royal Pavilion
Closest Hotels to Royal Pavilion:
The Royal Pavilion, which is the former seaside home of King George IV, is one of the most exotic-looking buildings in the UK. It was originally a farmhouse, but was transformed into a neo-classical villa in 1787 by the architect Henry Holland. The building was further re-modelled by John Nash in 1820 in the style of an Indian palace. It was also used by George IV’s brother, William IV and his niece Queen Victoria, but was sold to the town of Brighton by Victoria in 1850. Today, the exterior of this Regency building still has many domes and minarets, whilst the interior features a huge banqueting room with an impressive chandelier as its centrepiece, as well as a music room with lanterns hanging from a high-domed ceiling. The palace is ornately decorated with an array of Chinese and English furnishing and is set in lavish surrounding gardens.
