About the Oriental Hotel:
Tucked away in Oriental Place, the Oriental Hotel is more than just a place to stay - it’s a piece of Brighton’s cultural story. Over the decades, this building has quietly witnessed some of the city’s most iconic nightlife moments. During the 1980s, it was home to the Brighton Belle nightclub, a legendary venue that ran from 1984 to 1990 and is fondly remembered as one of the early DJ platforms for Fatboy Slim (Norman Cook), long before global fame followed. In 1991, the venue was reborn as the Beacon Royal Hotel, quickly establishing itself as one of Brighton’s most important and celebrated LGBTQ+ clubs. Under the ownership of Tony Chapman, it became a pioneering and welcoming space, playing a key role in Brighton’s reputation as one of the UK’s most inclusive and vibrant seaside cities.

Today, the Oriental Hotel has been thoughtfully reopened for a new chapter, offering stylish accommodation while honouring its rich musical, cultural and social heritage. Whether you’re here for the sea air, the nightlife, or the stories woven into Brighton’s streets, you’ll be staying
