What are the event finish times and restrictions at The Grand Brighton?

Event spaces including the Consort rooms have a mandatory finish time of 23:30pm. This applies to all events regardless of type or size. Events cannot extend beyond this time, so planning should account for this strict cutoff.

What happens if The Grand Brighton cannot accommodate my event request?

If The Grand Brighton is unable to offer suitable event space for your requirements, they will offer to check availability at their sister hotels: Leonardo Royal Hotel Brighton Waterfront and Leonardo Hotel Brighton. The events team will ask if you have flexibility with dates to explore alternative options.

What is the contact information for booking events at The Grand Brighton?

The main hotel number is +44 (0) 1273 224300. The M&E team can be reached at 01273 224360 or 01273 224398. You can also contact conference@grandbrighton.co.uk or info@grandbrighton.co.uk for event inquiries.

Can I book events that start at midnight or very late hours?

No, events cannot start at midnight or extend into the early morning hours. The venue has confirmed they cannot accommodate requests for events starting around midnight, as this conflicts with their operating hours and finish time restrictions.

What budget ranges does The Grand Brighton typically work with?

The venue has indicated they cannot accommodate very low budgets such as £200 total for events. Based on the inquiries handled, they appear to work with budgets ranging from several hundred pounds upward, but specific minimum spend requirements are not disclosed upfront.

How far in advance should I book my event at The Grand Brighton?

The venue handles bookings well in advance, with examples showing events being planned over a year ahead (such as October 2025 events being discussed). Early booking is recommended as they frequently have limited availability for suitable event spaces.

What types of events does The Grand Brighton typically decline?

The venue may decline events with extremely tight budgets, unusual timing requirements (such as midnight starts), or when they simply lack suitable available space. They appear to be selective about events that don't align with their operational parameters or venue standards.

Are there alternative Leonardo Hotels properties in Brighton if The Grand is unavailable?

Yes, there are two sister properties available: Leonardo Royal Hotel Brighton Waterfront (+44 (0) 1273 206700) and Leonardo Hotel Brighton (+44 (0) 1273 862121). The events team will proactively suggest these alternatives when The Grand Brighton cannot accommodate your requirements.
