Hotel for Sale in Eastbourne, UK

The top-selling services are individually booked guest stays—particularly sea-view rooms—mainly by UK and international leisure travelers through online platforms and direct bookings. Additional income is generated from restaurant dining, popular with both hotel guests and local visitors, along with small-scale business meetings hosted in the conference room. Tangible assets include freehold ownership of a 19,128 sq. ft. hotel building with 37 fully furnished guest rooms (10 sea-view), a 150-seat restaurant with a fully equipped kitchen, a conference room with bar and separate entrance, fitness and wellness facilities (gym, sauna, massage room, showers), basement facilities (laundry, staff lounges, wine cellar, storage, boiler room), two new high-performance gas boilers, a refurbished elevator, modernized room lock system, updated fire alarm and CCTV, IT and telephone systems with updated computers, along with all on-site furnishings, equipment, tools, and consumables. Intangible assets comprise a well-established brand presence on major booking platforms, a strong direct client base (50–60% direct bookings), loyal repeat customers, market goodwill with prime seafront visibility, planning permissions for existing improvements, positive assessments for potential vertical expansion of two additional floors, long-term supplier and service provider relationships, and transferable operational documentation and management know-how. An added benefit for international buyers is potential eligibility for a UK investor visa, which may lead to residency and eventually British citizenship, subject to current UK immigration laws and requirements. The hotel covers a built-up area of 19,128 sq. ft. spread across three floors and a basement. It features guest rooms, a restaurant, conference halls, wellness facilities, and comprehensive back-of-house infrastructure. Being a freehold property, it is not bound by rental or lease agreements, ensuring complete ownership for the buyer. The business is family-owned with three official shareholders and operates debt-free, without any outstanding loans or external funding.
