There's a lot of info available online about the Pavilion, so let me just say that my visit was hugely enjoyable. I knew nothing about the building or its history, but was familiar with it, having passed by it on previous visits to Brighton. I'm so glad I visited this time. It is astounding inside. I think it must have... more

Prince Regent must have been an early innovator, as apparently there were something like 30 ensuite 'washrooms' at The Royal Pavilion, his lavish outre palace in Brighton. He had two different types of bath: one with piped fresh water, and one with piped sea water!! This palace is absolutely stunning and beautifully restored. You can look round the whole place... more

I've passed by the Brighton Pavilion a number of times over the last 50 years and never took the time to go in. Last week, my wife and I had a couple of hours in Brighton and we did. The interiors of the Pavilion are mind blowing - architecture, decoration, furniture - out of this world and totally unexpected. If... more

The Royal Pavilion is everything that I love about England - a rather eccentric member of the royalty decided that his summer house was a bit dull, so he spent loads of time and money turning into a truly unique venue.

As the exterior suggests Indian architecture with it's onion domes and turrets and Indian Gate I was surprised that the interior... more

Takes about 1-2 hours, interesting because it gives you an insight into the Royal Family and their association with Brighton in the 1800s. Very good commentary, included in the standard admission price (£7 if I remember correctly). Banquet hall is mind blowing. Good tea room and the inevitable gift shop. more

Over-the-top, grandeous, and great fun. A monument to gloriously bad taste. more

You can't visit Brighton and not visit the Royal Pavilion, it's a must. more

I visited the Royal Pavilion in Brighton while on tour in 2005. I am returning to the UK in July and will definitely be returning for another visit, as one visit is not enough to capture the uniqueness of the most extravagant, vulgar, way out there building I have ever seen. It is a MUST VISIT while in Brighton. I... more
