Formerly the Wilton Court Hotel, this survived the mass demolitions of large late Victorian and Edwardian hotels that occurred in the 1950s-2000s. it opened August 1900 and closed in 1970.
The architect was William Cooper and it was funded by William Meads, a dentist, property developer and Bexhill councillor. This fine five-storey edifice has a superb roofscape of octagonal corner turrets with ogee caps, broken segmental pediments with obelisk finials, rusticated first floor and a continuous verandah-style canopy over the bays at third floor level. Built by Padgham and Hutchinson.
