East Sussex is one of the Home Counties' hidden secrets, it’s got beautiful countryside, charming towns and villages, and the coastline's not too shabby either, dotted with charming old resorts like colourful Brighton, historic Hastings and genteel Eastbourne, perfect for taking the sea air and enjoying a relaxing soak. Accommodation in the region is excellent and varied with plenty of country house hotels, smart guesthouses and wonderful old coaching inns. But it turns out that the best hotels with hot tubs in East Sussex are slightly harder to find!

Brighton Harbour Hotel

There are a number of East Sussex hotels promising to rejuvenate you. Some hotels boast spas and saunas, like Brighton’s glorious Grand Hotel, with its traditional elegance and sea views. And some boast attractively designed outdoor pools, like Old Whyly, a charming listed manor house in Lewes. While some just offer the perfect romantic refuge on the coast. But that’s not the same thing! Don’t despair, we did find some great hotels with hot tubs in East Sussex, but unfortunately none of our Guru’s favourite hotels with hot tubs in East Sussex offer rooms with private hot tubs.
