This neo-Stalinist monstrosity was opened in 1967 on the site of the former Bedford Hotel that burnt down in 1964 having been opened in 1829 and considered the best hotel in Brighton and the choice of royalty when staying in Brighton. Charles Dickens was also a 19th century guest, writing Dombey & Son during his stay. Viewed from the Esplanade with an architecturally more pleasing children's play castle in the foreground.
