A meeting room that belongs to Rottingdean
The Community Living Room isn’t just part of our seafront hotel. It’s part of Rottingdean. It draws its spirit from the village itself: friendly, creative and full of quiet charm. A place where locals feel at home and visitors feel like they’ve stumbled upon something special.
With its calm ambience and relaxed elegance, the room reflects the rhythm of life here on the coast, just down the road from the Brighton seafront. It’s where neighbours gather, new friendships form and shared interests come to life.
From poetry readings and painting groups to planning meetings and social evenings, the space has become a natural home for gatherings with purpose and personality. Explore more things to do nearby while you’re here.
Every detail, from the furnishings to the flow, has been considered with care. And while the walls may be new and modern touches like Wi-Fi connectivity are available, the sense of belonging feels beautifully familiar.
We’re proud to offer the space free of charge to local groups, subject to availability – for those moments that bring our community a little closer together. For corporate bookings and private hire, give our team a call on 01273 300301 and we’ll help you plan something special.
