the Burlington Hotel

worthing's four silver star 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.

Time
for tea

A classic afternoon tea celebrating the charm of the English seaside and a timeless tradition at Worthing’s most historic hotel. Our finest selection of sandwiches and cakes to enjoy with tea, coffee and magnificent sea views.

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.

&
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.

“It has beautiful surroundings, and lovely long walks – which I recommend to other people, but do not take myself.”
