the Burlington Hotel
worthing's 4★ silver 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 or unforgetable event. 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.

Place
The Burlington Hotel proudly overlooks Worthing’s West Beach in the town’s historic quarter. Perfectly positioned on the South Coast, the hotel offers easy access to the stunning South Downs National Park, the world-famous Goodwood Estate, historic Arundel and, of course, our lively neighbour, Brighton.
The seaside escape reimagined
When you arrive at The Burlington Hotel, you’ll discover a magical place where generations have gathered, celebrated and created lasting memories. Just a pebble’s throw from the peaceful seafront and backdropped by the rolling South Downs National Park, a stay at The Burlington is, in every sense, a true seaside escape.
where the land meets the sea
Our front of house is on another level. The glorious seafront Sea Pearl Bar and 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.”
