Hotels in Eastbourne
Known as the Empress of Watering Places, Eastbourne is a prime example of a perfectly planned Victorian seaside resort.
Beginning in the mid-l9th century, Eastbourne emerged from being a scattered community of hamlets; they consisted of Bourne (Old Town), Southbourne (around Grove Road), Meads and the Sea Houses (Marine Parade). And under the direction of the two main land-owning families, the Gilberts with 956 acres and the Cavendishes, 2,625 acres, the town started to take shape as a fashionable town.
In 2007 the town opened a new watersports centre on the Eastern promenade to replace the old Spray Watersports building that existed, offering fantastic facilities for use all year round plus a great base for the town's annual extreme sports festival. The town has other new developments in the pipeline too, including a state of the art Cultural Centre, scheduled to open in spring next year, offering a contemporary style art gallery and additional conference exhibition space. The town centre is also to undergo a huge redevelopment worth £100 million to be completed by 2011.
Redefining the perception of coastal conurbation's as 'one horse towns' solely reliant on tourism for their economic vitality, Eastbourne has a vibrant and growing economy with key strengths across a number of sectors. Of course, as a premier resort town with over 4 million visitors a year the tourist industry is central to Eastbourne's present and future economic prosperity, however it is just one part of a varied economic fabric.
