Perched right on Eastbourne’s elegant seafront, this privately owned and family-run hotel combines traditional charm with modern convenience. With 98 comfortable bedrooms, including singles, doubles, family rooms, executive rooms, and a suite (many boasting sea views), it’s uniquely placed to host large casts and crews for extended stays. Its location, just a short walk from the town centre, theatres, and the South Downs, gives productions easy access to both urban and scenic filming spots.

What makes the Lansdowne so production-friendly is its wealth of adaptable spaces. Seven meeting and function rooms, bright lounges, and outdoor terraces can all be transformed into production offices, green rooms, wardrobe fitting areas, hair and makeup stations, holding areas, or equipment storage. Onsite laundry and prop-friendly spaces streamline operations, letting you build a self-contained base without constant offsite moves.

Feeding a team becomes simple with the hotel’s acclaimed 1912 Steak & Seafood Restaurant and bar, which offer high-quality menus and flexible service for large groups. Event rooms and lounges can be configured for buffets or plated meals, while the outdoor terrace and the Western Lawns opposite the hotel provide fresh-air breakout spaces. Whether you need staggered crew mealtimes or bespoke dietary options, everything is under one roof.

With accommodation, workspaces, catering, and support services in one location, the Lansdowne Hotel delivers a seamless production base for filmmakers. Its seafront position brings natural light and inspiration; its proximity to town services saves travel time; and its family-run ethos ensures attentive, flexible service. For productions of all sizes, The Lansdowne Hotel offers a professional yet welcoming environment designed to keep your shoot running smoothly!
