Brighton's seafront and view on the Grand Hotel on the right, East Sussex, England, in the United Kingdom. The Grand Brighton Hotel is a historic Victorian sea front hotel in Brighton on the south coast of England. The Grand Hotel was designed by architect John Whichcord Jr., and built in 1864 on the site occupied previously by a battery house. It was built for members of the upper classes visiting Brighton and Hove and remains one of the most expensive hotels in the city. Among its advanced engineering features at the time was the "Vertical Omnibus", a hydraulically powered lift powered by cisterns in the roof. This was the first lift built in the United Kingdom outside London, at a time when only two others had been installed. The building itself is an example of Italian influence in Victorian architecture.
