| | Guardian Unlimited | Weekend | The Mirabelle, The Grand Hotel, Eastbourne, East Sussex |
 | | The Grand was built for a more spacious era, when well-to-do Brits holidayed on the south coast, before they migrated farther south, to the twinkling waters and eternal sunshine of the Mediterranean, taking their Corinthian pillars with them to fit out more grand hotels. |
 | | But the Grand in Eastbourne remains really quite grand in a modern, uniform, corporate kind of way, and is spacious to a degree that few modern hotels can afford to be. |
 | | It took Tucker and I five minutes to walk the corridors from the entrance hall to the premium dining room, which is the Mirabelle. |
