The great Palace Pier was opened in 1899 after 8 years of engineering and construction of the great Pier.

The first piece of construction on the Palace Pier in Brighton began way back in 1891 and it took 7 years to build at a cost of around бё137,00

Ramada Jarvis Hotels Brighton
The Ramada Jarvis Hotels Brighton is situated 0.9 miles from the pier and is roughly a 17 minute walk from the Palace Pier, the grand Victorian building was built way back in 1864 and sits on a perfect spot on the shore. not the first built hotels Brighton but not that far off either.
The Palace Fire
In February 2003 the Palace pier suffered at the hands of a large fire and was very lucky to escape with minimum damage, the pier was opened for business the next day.
A long history to continue. The pier is now 110 years old and most of the Brighton hotels are even older,they lived longer than the most of us will, they have also had their ups and downs in their long history but with the credit crunch and rising costs for holidaying in Europe becoming more and more of stumbling block for flying abroad I think the Palace pier and the historic hotels in Brighton have an even longer future ahead of it.
