Royal Pavilion of Brighton Tourism

The Royal Pavilion is an exotic palace in the heart of Brighton, United Kingdom, with a colorful history. Built as a seaside retreat for George, Prince of Wales, who later became King George IV, this historic house mixes Regency grandeur with the visual style of India and China. It is renowned for its Indo-Saracenic architecture and Oriental interior design. The Pavilion also boasts a stunning banquet room, a magnificent music room, and prominent chandeliers. Moreover, its lush gardens provide a serene escape from the urban bustle. The palace became a civic building after Queen Victoria sold it to the city of Brighton in 1850. Over the years, it has been restored to its original 1823 splendor and continues to attract visitors fascinated by its unique architecture, luxurious decorations, and the story of its royal patronage. The Royal Pavilion has also been part of significant historical events; notably, it served as a military hospital during World War I.
