Brighton Stay Over

On Saturday 1 July 2023, Jezz and I used our complimentary voucher for an overnight stay with Afternoon Tea and breakfast at The Double Trees by Hilton Metropole in Brighton.

After using the Hilton Metropole hotel for our wedding in November 2021, our wedding planner asked us for detailed feedback on how the entire process went. We highlighted around 18 issues that just marred the experience, but thankfully, nothing ruined it. However, along with a small refund, she decided to compensate us with a complimentary overnight stay, to include afternoon tea and breakfast. We intended to use it as a one-year anniversary, but didn’t.

We arrived at 4pm on Saturday 1 July 2023 but had trouble parking. There were no spaces available and after three attempts of driving around, I had to park outside. The room was a king-size double and was excellent. I downloaded the Hilton Honours app and was able to use a digital key for the first time.

The hotel was exceptionally quiet from construction site noise, but then it was the weekend. There was an event tasking place Saturday evening, a boxing fight, which attracted around 900 testosterone-fuelled blokes, a lot of them fit and well-dressed.

We did go out early evening and decided to try a Lebanese restaurant, Al Rouche, 44 Preston Street. The food, value, and service was great.

Sunday morning, we were up for breakfast and that was all good. We checked out by 11am and went shopping in the high street of Brighton. And at 1pm, returned to the hotel for an Afternoon Tea, which was fabulous.

Here are some photos of the weekend.
