The Hilton Brighton Metropole is a 4-star hotel and conference centre located on the seafront in Brighton, East Sussex.

The architect was Alfred Waterhouse, who also was architect of University College London and the Natural History Museum, London.[3]

Currently the UK's largest residential conference centre in the South of England, it was built in 1890 and has 340 bedrooms. The General Manager is Sascha Koehler who has worked with Hilton for 20 years. Since 2000, it has been operated by Hilton Hotels & Resorts (previously it operated under the Stakis brand), and previously owned by The Royal Bank of Scotland, its freehold is now owned by the Topland Group.[4]

It is referenced in section 3, "The Fire Sermon" of T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land.
