to the website of the da Vinci Hotel in Eastbourne which opened as the UK's first art hotel. From this website you can visit our bedrooms, peruse some art, check out availability and find out more about Eastbourne.....all from the comfort of your own chair.

The da Vinci is a beautiful grade 2 listed building conveniently located in the centre of Eastbourne's cultural district. The hotel overlooks Howard Square which fronts onto the beach and the sea. We are just around the corner from the Devonshire Park Theatre, the Congress Theatre, the Winter Gardens, the Towner Art Gallery and the recently opened Welcome Building.

The hotel includes an art gallery downstairs and art themed rooms upstairs. The art gallery features the work of local artists with regular exhibitions showcasing their work. Upstairs, our art themed ensuite bedrooms (each with their own featured artist) are individually coloured and individually furnished. Our ground floor also features two breakfast rooms and our recently refurbished bar.

The da Vinci is conveniently situated next to the beach with its sweeping seafront and three tier promenade. The coastline is designated an area of outstanding beauty and the chalk cliffs of Beachy Head include a walkers route along the cliff tops. Close by are the charming villages of Alfriston, Wilmington and East Dean as well as Drusillas Zoo, Polegate Windmill, Michelham Priory, Pevensey Castle and Newhaven Fort.
