As the most historic hotel in our vibrant city of Brighton, we have been celebrating great functions at the Old Ship for over 200 years. The splendour of our Grade II listed Paganini Ballroom was once the only place to be, especially in 1787 and your invitation was sent by The Prince of Wales!Today, we continue to open our doors every year for festive parties, Christmas Breaks and our New Year's Eve Gala, keeping that magical legacy of tradition and fun alive, along with the promise of a warm welcome, good food, wine, entertainment and invigorating company!Whether you come for your office party, celebrate with a group of friends, enjoy a family break or wave goodbye to the old and see in the New Year with a loved one, you will find a great reason to book.&nbsp;
