We specialise in hotel construction and refurbishment across Brighton, Hove and the wider South-East. Whether transforming heritage buildings or delivering modern hostel upgrades, our team brings comprehensive project management, building and surveying expertise to every contract. From initial surveys and planning through to completion and handover, we handle every stage in-house to maintain quality, compliance and seamless communication.
A flagship example of our work is the refurbishment and rebuild of the Royal Albion Hotel, a Grade II* listed landmark on Brighton’s seafront. Severely damaged by fire in 2023 the hotel’s western sections had to be demolished for safety. Under our direction, we conducted emergency stabilisation, detailed structural surveys and damage assessments before launching into controlled demolition and enabling works led by our trusted contractors and conservation experts.
Our restoration strategy for the Royal Albion balances respect for heritage with modern standards. We are carefully reinstating the original Georgian-era façade and architectural detailing, while upgrading internal infrastructure to meet current safety, insulation, and hospitality regulations. The project plan aims to return the site to a four-star standard hotel under the Elite Hotels brand, combining restored historic character with contemporary accommodation.
At the same time we are preparing for the upcoming refurbishment of A&O Hostels Brighton. This project will deliver a comprehensive upgrade to guest rooms, communal areas and essential services to meet modern guest expectations while maximising operational efficiency and longevity. Our experience with large-scale hotel and hostel refurbishments ensures minimal disruption to operations and a smooth transition to the new standards of comfort and safety.
Our hotel and hostel refurbishment service offering encompasses full project management, conservation-led restoration, structural and party-wall surveying, compliance with listed-building regulations, asbestos and fire-damage remediation, architectural coordination, and end-to-end delivery. We manage all trades, procurement, certifications and reporting, liaising with heritage consultants, local authorities and stakeholders to ensure smooth progression and transparent communication.
If you are considering refurbishment or redevelopment of a hotel or hostel in Brighton, Hove or the wider South-East, get in touch. We bring deep local knowledge, commitment to heritage integrity, and proven delivery across complex and sensitive projects.
