Maldron Hotel Brighton opens its doors along city’s iconic waterfront
July 18th: Dalata Hotel Group Plc, (“Dalata” or “the Group”), the largest hotel operator in Ireland, with a growing presence in the United Kingdom and continental Europe, has created 65 new jobs with the opening of a 226-guestroom hotel on Brighton’s iconic waterfront.
The 4-star Maldron Hotel Brighton is Dalata Hotel Group’s first hotel on the south coast, providing an epic basecamp for guests, perfectly located just a three-minute walk from Brighton Centre, a 13-minute walk from the train station and just 25 minutes from Gatwick airport by car.
With stylish and exceptionally comfortable guestrooms including executive rooms, a bar, restaurant, onsite gym and 5 meeting rooms, the new hotel is the Dalata Group’s 56th hotel and is one of four new hotels opening this year across the UK, further expanding Dalata’s portfolio.
The new hotel features the brand’s popular Grain & Grill restaurant, which serves a carefully chosen selection of favourite dishes, and a Red Bean Roastery coffee dock serving quality barista prepared coffee.
The hotel, developed by the Topland Group, and built by Cfield Construction, has obtained a sustainability certification that places it in the top 10% of new non-domestic buildings in the UK for best practice when it comes to its environmental performance, with a BREEAM Excellent rating.
Maldron Hotel Brighton General Manager, John Devine said the hotel and its location will act as the perfect basecamp for guests, allowing them to enjoy all that Brighton has to offer.
He said: “We are proud to be opening a new Maldron Hotel in this great city in the heart of Sussex.
“With a dedicated meeting and events floor encompassing five meeting rooms equipped with Clevertouch technology, and with the hotel being located just 25 minutes from Gatwick Airport, we are an excellent choice for business and for corporate guests.”
“Brighton has always been a magnet for visitors seeking fun and fresh sea air and the new Maldron Hotel Brighton has all of the city’s best attractions right on its doorstep.
“At Maldron Hotels we say unforgettable experiences start here. We are thrilled with our new hotel and are confident our guests will love it too.
Dalata Hotel Group CEO, Dermot Crowley said:
“We are excited to open Maldron Hotel Brighton, our first Dalata hotel in the city.
As a prime tourist destination with a vibrant cultural scene that attracts millions of visitors annually, Brighton is an ideal location for Dalata.
The city is also experiencing growing business demand and is recognised nationally and internationally as a leading conference centre, supported by its close proximity to London.
I want to express my gratitude to our development partners and our local team for their hard work behind the scenes in preparing the hotel to welcome guests for the summer months.
The opening of Maldron Hotel Brighton underlines Dalata’s commitment to our UK expansion strategy, which will continue with the launch of another new hotel in the Shoreditch area of London in August.”
The newly opened hotel has a contemporary ground floor lobby with convenient self-check-in pods, a spacious dining and bar area and a well-equipped fitness suite.
Maldron Hotel Brighton also boasts comfortable and stylish rooms, including deluxe double bedrooms, deluxe single rooms, executive king rooms and accessible rooms, all complete with rainfall showers, modern wooden floors, air-conditioning and USBC charge points.
As part of the company’s ambitious UK growth strategy, Dalata Hotel Group is set to open another new hotel in the prime location of Shoreditch in South Central London. This comes after the opening of Maldron Hotel Liverpool and Maldron Hotel Cathedral Quarter in Manchester within the past two months.
