Your perfect start to 2025
The White Horses is more than just a seaside escape – it’s a beautifully restored gem on Rottingdean’s seafront, part of the celebrated Everly Hotel Collection. Originally rebuilt in 1934 to welcome the vibrant tourist scene on the South Coast, it’s been lovingly reimagined for today’s guests as 2024 ticks over into 2025.
With elegant, yet comfortable interiors that pay tribute to 1920s and 1930s design, from our Art Deco-inspired Discovery Bar to our sunlit terrace and sophisticated restaurant, every corner has a story to tell.
As you venture out into picturesque Rottingdean, you’ll uncover even more local charm and beauty. Surrounding our area are captivating attractions steeped in history, including our quaint village and the stunning Seven Sisters cliffs, known for their dramatic landscapes. Just a short drive away, the vibrant city of Brighton awaits, with its own unique treasures to unearth.
After a day of exploration, The White Horses will be waiting to welcome you back with open arms and delectable dishes. Our menu is perfect for a New Year's meal, bringing classic British favourites to life with a contemporary flair, featuring the best of local and seasonal ingredients.
Seaside views, a warm welcome and exceptional cuisine – there’s nowhere quite like The White Horses.
Something special to sip
When the occasion calls for something truly special, our drinks menu can’t help but deliver. Our Discovery Bar offers a handpicked selection of fine wines, expertly crafted cocktails and sparkling options that bring a twist of elegance to every celebration.
Sip on a refreshing Bolney Blanc De Blancs, an English sparkling wine from the Bolney Wine Estate, or toast the New Year with a glass of Fitz Brut, known for its green apple and floral notes. Each pour is a taste of local artistry, perfect for ringing in 2025 in the finest style.
