the Burlington Hotel
Imagine. A gentle coastal breeze. A quiet stretch of beach. And a beautifully elegant boutique hotel to retreat to perfectly situated, just a pebble’s throw from the sea.
The Burlington Hotel and Sea Pearl restaurant in Worthing is everything you could want for a stylish seaside escape. We’ve been here since 1864 when former guests Charles Dickens and Oscar Wilde found it a place to write home about. And following a lavish refurbishment, we’re making waves all over again.
Time
&
Place
Worthing is a historic seaside town with a welcoming charm. Its South coast location is perfectly located for access to the South Downs National Park, Goodwood, historic Arundel and our noisy neighbour, Brighton.
The seaside escape reimagined
When you arrive at The Burlington Hotel, you'll find yourself in a magical place where generations have played, loved and made their own. A pebble's throw from the uncrowded beach and backdropped by the South Downs, the boutique experience of a stay at The Burlington is in every sense, a seaside escape.
where the land meets the sea
Our front of house is on another level. The glorious seafront Sea Pearl restaurant terrace is the most elegant seat in town. And our bedrooms are as stylish as they are restorative and relaxing. The Burlington Hotel is the perfect place to find yourself, lose yourself or just spoil yourself.
“It has beautiful surroundings, and lovely long walks – which I recommend to other people, but do not take myself.”
